Starbucks is the leading coffee chain in the U.S., boasting over 16,000 locations and generating over $31 billion in annual revenue. Dunkin' follows as the second-largest with less than 10,000 stores and around $12 billion in revenue. Luckin Coffee entered the U.S. market recently, following past financial issues, and aims to compete by offering lower prices and a mobile app-based ordering system to enhance efficiency. Luckin's successful revenue performance in China might indicate potential for success in the American market.
