"CU's market presence is rapidly expanding across the East Coast, driven by a robust demand for our authentic Korean food and drinks made with Halal certified ingredients," said Blake Dang, Director of CU Malaysia.

The brand has ambitious plans to reach 200 stores nationwide by 2025, bringing Korean delights to more Malaysians.

The grand opening of CU at UTC Kelantan took place on 15 August, and was officially opened by State Investment, Industry, Human Resources, Trade and Entrepreneurship Committee Chairman Datuk Md Anizam Ab. Rahman.

"This grand opening represents not just the expansion of our brand, but also our commitment to empower small Kelantanese businesses by providing them with a platform to sell their products in our stores. CU is committed to support local entrepreneurs and fostering economic growth within Kelantan," said Dang.

During the grand opening, the brand launched its 'Allowance That Allows' initiative
