The factory’s groundbreaking ceremony took place last week.
Speaking at the ceremony, Kevin Nguyen, King Coffee's director in the US said the Vietnamese firm’s coffee products are already available in around 120 countries and territories worldwide.
They have been present in the US since 2016, available at and through retail chains like Cosco, Aldi, Amazon, and Walmart. In April 2021, King Coffee opened its first US coffee shop at Anaheim Garden Walk near Disneyland in California. King Coffee is about to start franchise deals in the US.

He believed that with the two groups’ strengths, the co-operation would create jobs for local people and contribute to economic development in South Carolina.
