Since the end of last year, Cudi affiliate companies have continued to post on social media such as Xiaohongshu that Cudi has supply chain problems and that the brand's cash flow is suspected to be in crisis, saying that many Cudi affiliate companies are being evacuated. According to Jukai brand monitoring statistics, in the past 90 days, Cudi Coffee opened 476 new stores, but closed 826 stores. Today, the reporter sought evidence from Cudi. Cudi responded that the data was inaccurate. According to the response, the total number of Cudi stores closed and cancelled since opening in October 2022 was 61, and explained that the 826 stores were mainly due to the temporary closure of university stores during the winter vacation and will operate normally after the start of school. At the same time, Cudi said, “Currently, our cash flow is safe. We have prepared a five-year plan and financial model to ensure the smooth implementation of supply chain system construction, human-robot collaboration strategies, and brand marketing activities.”
