Blue Bottle
Nestlé has reportedly finalized the sale of Blue Bottle Coffee's global café operations to Centurium Capital—controlling shareholder of Luckin Coffee—for $400 million, per Bloomberg and Nikkei Asia, following initial Chinese media reports last week. Nestlé retains the brand's packaged goods; the move pairs Blue Bottle's premium expertise with Luckin's scale for expansion into high-end markets.
