来源：市场资讯 （来源：锐艺商业品牌观察） 瑞幸真的很猛！不管是规模还是营收，都直接碾压一众竞争对手！不仅是星巴克，就连库迪的价格战也 打不动了！ 瑞幸咖啡在2025年全年营收492.88亿元，同比增长43.0%，门店总数突破31048家，同比增长39.0%，净 增8708家门店。 但第四季度的财报却揭示了繁华背后的隐忧：当季净利润同比暴跌39.1%，净利润率从8.8%骤降至 4.1%。这意味着，瑞幸每创造100元收入，只能赚到4.1元。 同一时期，被指"掉队"的星巴克中国呈现出另一种面貌。 2025财年，星巴克中国营收约220亿元，仅为瑞幸的44.6%；门店总数8011家，不到瑞幸的四分之一。 但星巴克中国的门店经营利润率持续保持在两位数，经营利润连续四个季度环比提升。 当瑞幸忙于追求规模的绝对值时，星巴克似乎更懂得如何让每一家店都赚钱。 01. 拆解瑞幸的利润暴跌，成本失控是关键。 2025年第四季度，其总运营费用达119.55亿元，同比增长38.9%，增速比营收增速高出整整6个百分点。 其中几个数据值得警惕： "外卖依赖症"成为吞噬利润的黑洞。 财报明确承认，配送费用激增"主要源于第三方外卖平台配送量大 ...

2026年的马年春节，对于在湖北巴东县开瑞幸咖啡的店主来说，是痛并快乐着的。返乡的年轻人几乎人手一杯咖啡，店里等待取餐的队伍蜿蜒曲折，点单 到取货需要排队20分钟，吧台上为了制作高峰期备货的厚椰乳甚至一次码了十瓶。 这种景象并非个例，从江苏泗阳到四川江安，从安徽怀宁到福建诏安，中国数千个县城在春节期间经历了一场前所未有的消费狂欢。当北上广深的运营总 监们回到老家，他们惊讶地发现，县城的春节消费正以惊人的能量，改写着中国商业的底层逻辑。 春节的繁荣 大年初二上午十点，浦江的街道还没完全热闹起来，一家小店已经亮起灯。吧台后，老板穿着便装忙前忙后——客人进门时，她连围裙都还没来得及系 上。这就是县城精品咖啡的日常：没有从容的准备，只有扑面而来的真实。 2026年的春节档被称为"史上最长"，却迎来了一场票房的倒春寒。大年初一，全国票房比去年同期缩水了近三成。但更耐人寻味的是另一幕：大盘在跌， 县城影院的票价却在疯涨。 猫眼专业版上拉出的数据有些刺眼——全国平均票价49.8元，而在山西、河南、山东的不少县城，一张票直接飙到了80甚至100元。相比之下，北京朝阳 区的高端影院里，团购一张《飞驰人生3》不过六七十；上海春节 ...

"春节9天净赚5万""连续3天日收超10万""县城咖啡馆的座位比车票都难抢"…… 同事告诉我，他们村里今年新开了一家古茗，现在集齐古茗、蜜雪、益禾堂、瑞幸、吕小哥等多个品牌，但春节期间点杯古茗依然要排队，很多爆品根本 点不到。 这一现象在品牌数据上得到充分验证。 书亦烧仙草公关负责人透露："三线及以下城市门店成为春节销量最重要贡献渠道，六成以上乡镇门店日店均高于全国均值。四五线县城挤入全国销量 TOP10，部分乡镇店日均杯量突破1000杯。 " 开工第一天，我收到二十多个品牌的"春节战报"，这个"史上最长"的春节假期，饮品生意到底怎么样？ 在数据中抽丝剥茧，我看到了几个正在一线发生的消费趋势。 "蹲点3天点不到一杯古茗"，县镇市场领跑全国 "春节在老家想喝一杯奶茶有多难？"春节期间，这一话题在社交平台持续发酵，全国乡镇门店接连爆单，很多返乡青年"一杯难求"。 小红书上，#蹲点3天点不到一杯古茗、#古茗忙疯了等笔记比比皆是。 东方墨兰创始合伙人贺瑞娟表示："贵港的镇，揭阳的县，一天近3000杯的比比皆是，春节牛奶断货、仓库爆仓、订单专员要哭着摇货。下沉城市超80% 门店冲击日销千杯，最好的店一天能做2000杯以 ...

春运期间，高铁站与机场往往成为密度最高的商业空间之一。有限的空间承载着巨量的人流，消费行为被压缩在短暂停留之中，交易效率与渠道话语权被 极大放大。在这样的场景里，价格上浮几乎成为一种默认规则。从矿泉水到简餐，从便利商品到服务收费，消费者对此并不会感到意外。 原因也很直接，交通枢纽属于典型强势渠道，租金远高于普通商场，许多场地还叠加营业额抽成、运营规范成本与物流限制。这些成本终究要被转移到终 端价格之中。对大多数品牌而言，进入这样的渠道，本身就意味着接受一套新的定价逻辑。 价格策略的第一约束，来自成本结构。交通枢纽环境并不会改变品牌定位，却会显著放大成本压力。当渠道成本上升时，企业能否吸收这部分压力，取决 于产品本身的利润厚度与商业模型。 肯德基是标准化大众快餐。在它的成本模型里，生鲜食材、庞大且复杂的冷链物流，以及后厨高强度的标准化人工操作，占据了极高的硬性成本。 这种重资产、重供应链的模式，决定了它在常规市区的核心盈利法宝是薄利多销，必须依靠极高的客流周转率来摊薄固定支出。 但真正耐人寻味的差异在于，即便处在同一空间，不同品牌的反应却并不一致。肯德基的产品价格往往明显高于市区门店，而星巴克却大体维持全国统一 ...
