Coffee & cafe
South Korea has one of the world's densest cafe markets, and its coffee franchises are known for compact, takeout-focused store formats and high store counts. Leading chains include Mega MGC Coffee, Korea's largest coffee brand by store count, mid-price pioneer Ediya Coffee, and Paik's Coffee (Paik's Dabang) from TheBorn Korea. Several of these brands have begun overseas expansion through master franchise agreements in Southeast Asia, Mongolia, and Japan.
