Early Life
Wang Yun'an's entrepreneurial journey began approximately 15 years ago in his hometown of Daxi, located near Shanghai. He started with a single bubble tea shop, a humble beginning that would lay the foundation for his future success. Before entering the business world, Wang graduated from Zhejiang Sci-Tech University with a bachelor's degree in engineering.
Rise to Success
The early days of Wang's venture were challenging. Initially, the shop struggled, with sales sometimes as low as 100 yuan per day. However, through experimentation with recipes and improvements to the storefront, Wang eventually attracted customers. Recognizing the potential for growth, he adopted a franchise model, expanding his brand, "Good Me," throughout China. The company targeted smaller cities and townships, where bubble tea was less accessible, and growth opportunities were greater.
Key Business Strategies
Wang's strategy focused on a franchise model, selling milk tea ingredients, and training services to franchisees. By prioritizing cost-effective store designs and consistent branding, Guming Holdings expanded its network to almost 10,000 stores across China by late 2024. This expansion strategy, coupled with the growing demand for bubble tea in China, propelled Guming to become the second-largest fresh bubble tea maker by total sales and store count.
