Kopi Kenangan, an Indonesia-based coffee tech startup, has opened its first international store in Suria KLCC, a shopping mall in Malaysia. The company uses the brand Kenangan Coffee for the store, which will be carried by all of its branches outside Indonesia.

By the end of this year, Kopi Kenangan plans to open four more stores in Malaysia, specifically in MyTown Cheras, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, NU Sentral Kuala Lumpur, and Sunway Pyramid Petaling Jaya. The company has also built an employee training center called Kenangan Academy in Uptown Petaling Jaya.
In May, CEO Edward Tirtanata told Tech in Asia that the firm would open its first store outside Indonesia this year. He added that the company aims to enter two or three countries in Southeast Asia soon.
Founded in 2017 by Tirtanata, James Prananto, and Cynthia Chaerunnisa, Kopi Kenangan offers an app where users can order coffee. They can opt to pick up their drinks at the company’s stores or have their beverages delivered.
The coffee chain currently has more than 850 stores in 64 cities across Indonesia. It has also expanded its offerings by introducing bread brand Cerita Roti, chicken-based snack brand Chigo, and soft-cookie brand Kenangan Manis.
In December 2021, Kopi Kenangan achieved unicorn status after it raised US$96 million in the first close of its series C round.
