Centurium Capital, the biggest investor group in Luckin, reportedly nears a Blue Bottle purchase.
Reports put the price below $400 million for Blue Bottle's cafe business worldwide, with Nestlé keeping the consumer goods side, including packaged, instant and ready to drink products. No company involved has confirmed a deal. Nestlé took a majority stake in 2017 for roughly $425 million, and the chain counted 78 US shops in December 2025.
