Pacific Coffee—previously known as Pacific Coffee Company (PCC)—is a coffeehouse chain headquartered in Hong Kong, with locations extending to China, Singapore, and Malaysia. The company is owned by Chevalier Pacific, a computer distribution firm formerly called Chevalier iTech, which purchased the business from founder Thomas Neir for HK$205 million in 2005.
In June 2010, Pacific Coffee's expansion into mainland China was accelerated through a partnership between Chevalier and China Resources Enterprise (CRE). CRE became a principal shareholder and incorporated the brand into its Retail Business Unit to facilitate growth.
Apart from operating retail outlets, PCC markets its proprietary coffee beans and Jura-brand coffee machines to distributors and corporate clients such as banks, airlines, clubs, and hotels. Its coffee beans are distributed across Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore.
Hong Kong
Established in 1992 by Seattle-born entrepreneur Thomas Neir, PCC sought to fill the gap in Hong Kong’s market for European-style coffeehouses. The inaugural store launched in 1993 at the Bank of America Tower located in Central. Notably, in 2005, the PCC café at The Peak was recognized as "Asia's top favourite wireless hotspot" in a survey spanning 20 countries.
International branches
PCC manages around 120 outlets within Hong Kong and operates additional stores in major urban centers including Beijing, Shanghai, Macau, Foshan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shenyang, Suzhou, Xi'an, and Zhuhai. The brand also maintains locations in Singapore, Cyprus, and Malaysia.
