On July 17, according to data from the food and beverage data platform Narrow Gate Restaurant Eye, Miyue Ice City has opened 13,528 stores nationwide. Among them, only 465 stores are located in first-tier cities, accounting for 3.44% of the total number of stores. Over 30% of the stores are located in new first-tier cities and second-tier cities, while almost 60% of the stores are in third, fourth, and fifth-tier cities, accounting for 24.87%, 22.72%, and 11.69% respectively.

Specifically in Shanghai, Miyue Ice City was still a specialty of urban-rural junctions. As of February 2021, Miyue Ice City had only about 66 stores in Shanghai, most of which were located in Shanghai’s suburbs or around schools, primarily targeting student groups whose consumption power was not very high.

By July 2021, this number had risen to 81. With Miyue Ice City’s rapid popularity on platforms like Douyin, Bilibili, and Xiaohongshu, it successfully "entered" the core business districts of Modu.

Franchise Concerns

However, the cost of opening stores in first-tier cities remains high, coupled with a highly competitive tea beverage market. Can Miyue Ice City survive with such a low average transaction price?

On July 14, an investor familiar with the dostic tea beverage market told the Tis Weekly reporter that Miyue Ice City appears to be a milk tea shop, but in essence, it is a supplier that charges franchise fees and provides tea beverage raw materials for franchisees. According to multiple dia reports, in 2019, Miyue Ice City’s operating inco was 6-6.5 billion yuan, and the net profit was about 800 million yuan. Most of the revenue was composed of franchise fees plus the goods paynt from selling raw materials.

In other words, consurs paying for milk tea and ice cream are not Miyue Ice City’s main custors. Franchisees are the real "patrons" of Miyue Ice City.

According to Miyue Ice City’s official website, the franchise fee for provincial capital cities is 11,000 yuan/year, 9,000 yuan/year for prefecture-level cities, and 7,000 yuan/year for county-level cities.

To quickly respond to franchisees’ demand for raw materials, Miyue Ice City has built an automated production workshop of over 50,000 square ters, allowing it to produce core raw materials by itself, significantly reducing extra expenses and interdiary price differences. Furthermore, Miyue Ice City has established five warehousing and logistics centers. The main warehouse is set up in ho base Zhengzhou, and the other four warehouses are located in Foshan, Shenyang, Chengdu, and Xinjiang Urumqi.

anwhile, as long as franchisees make a single purchase exceeding a certain amount, Miyue Ice City will not charge additional logistics fees.

A clear "franchise goods sale" business model allows Miyue Ice City to dare to announce revenue before listing. Moreover, Miyue Ice City has gained the favor of capital entities like Dragon Ball Capital and Gao Ling Capital, successfully completing the first round of financing of 2 billion yuan, with a valuation even trending on par with Xicha, with multiple reports of listing rumors.

On July 15, Chinese food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng told the Tis Weekly reporter that the reason Miyue Ice City has gained favor from capital entities is primarily because compared to so high-end market tea beverage brands, Miyue Ice City has already ford a significant scale effect nationwide, completing the layout of 13,000 stores. In contrast, Xicha currently has about 800 directly operated stores nationwide, and Nai Xue’s Tea has about 600 directly operated stores.

Zhu Danpeng further pointed out that in terms of custor group and audience, being positioned at the base of the tea beverage price tower ans there is considerable demographic dividend behind it. However, currently, Miyue Ice City faces the problem that most stores are franchise stores, making it unable to directly and effectively supervise the food quality and safety of the stores. If the food safety issues cannot be properly resolved, its path to listing may be indefinitely delayed.

On May 19 this year, due to food safety issues such as so stores altering the expiration labels of opened ingredients, using overnight ingredients in violation, and not washing lemon peels, Miyue Ice City received its first ticket from the relevant regulatory departnt. The Zhengzhou City Market Supervision Bureau interviewed Miyue Ice City, ordering 35 stores to rectify within a deadline, 3 stores to imdiately suspend operations for rectification, and issued administrative penalty decision docunts to 9 stores under its na.

"Additionally, due to the relatively limited business districts in first-tier cities, new Chinese milk tea brand layouts are also relatively stable. If the original franchise model is continued without innovation, in the future, it may not necessarily continue to be favored by primary and secondary market investors, and the pressure for listing will beco greater," Zhu Danpeng analyzed.
