In May, CoCo will open the first store in a multi-store franchise in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with the remaining locations opening later in 2025. These stores will feature beverages made with raw materials certified as Halal, emphasizing the brand's dedication to making beverages for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, CoCo held the soft opening for its first-ever store in Cambodia, located in Phnom Penh, on April 13. This marks a significant step in bringing its beloved bubble tea to even more communities across Southeast Asia.
"Our franchise network from the dynamic Southeast Asia region does an excellent job innovating and harnessing the flourishing bubble tea market here," noted Kody Wong, Deputy General Manager of Business Development at CoCo Bubble Tea. "We are immensely grateful to have such strong franchise partners. With these latest openings, we are doubling down on our efforts to engage diverse consumers across a region that is growing rapidly."
Striving for broader local appeal
As demand for "new tea" drinks grows in Southeast Asia, CoCo is redefining the bubble tea experience in the region. Once considered a premium refreshment option, bubble tea is now evolving to suit the dynamic tastes of a broader range of Southeast Asian consumers. The brand's focus on using local flavors and offering customizable beverage options is helping its drinks resonate more with middle-class consumers, who have increasingly more purchasing power.
A history of success in Southeast Asia
Since establishing a presence here in 2012, Southeast Asia has brought CoCo Bubble Tea some outstanding success stories. Notably, the Philippines has over 120 CoCo stores nationwide, and the brand has consistent recognition here for beverages that resonate with consumers, a strong brand image, and outstanding customer service. CoCo's highest average store sales is in the Philippines, and it has been the most successful among locals compared with tourists — as 99% of its customers are Filipinos. This demonstrates the company's proven ability to connect deeply with local tastes.
Why partner with CoCo
Operating with a franchise business model, CoCo Bubble Tea is deeply invested in the entrepreneurs it partners with to open shops. With over 5000 stores worldwide, CoCo combines its high brand recognition with comprehensive support across supply chain, training programs, and other areas to ensure the long-term success of its franchise partners.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced the general availability of its generative AI-powered case intelligence solution, Relativity aiR for Case Strategy. Designed with lawyers and litigation professionals in mind, aiR for Case Strategy makes it faster and simpler to develop case narratives, enabling users to auto-extract facts, visualize fact chronologies, accelerate deposition preparation, and create document, witness and transcript summaries.
"Generative AI is redefining what's possible in case preparation, empowering legal teams to move from information to insight with greater speed and precision than ever before," said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. "We're committed to expanding our case intelligence capabilities because giving our partners and customers a clearer, more complete understanding of their matters sooner enables them to focus on serving their clients, creating greater impact and building narratives that ultimately advance justice."
Legal teams working across complex disputes often face pressure to understand the facts and issues earlier in the life cycle of a matter. aiR for Case Strategy helps establish a clear factual foundation by revealing key events, illuminating gaps in evidence and highlighting the relationships among people, documents and testimony. This level of context is especially important in disputes and litigation, effectively enabling stronger strategic planning and more confident preparation for witness meetings, interviews and depositions.
Elevating strategic casework from data to decision-making
More than 50 customers have tested aiR for Case Strategy and extracted approximately 600,000 facts through Relativity's limited general availability program. These early adopters achieved time savings, cost efficiencies, improved collaboration and increased scalability. Tasks that once took hours—sifting through emails, chats and contracts to extract facts, build chronologies and draft summaries—now take minutes. From the outset of a matter, users can uncover the story in their data, shape a case narrative and determine how they want to argue the matter.
"With aiR for Case Strategy, we can see the story behind the evidence much earlier in the process. It helps extract and organize facts into timelines so our teams can quickly turn information into actionable insights," said Michael Song, Head of GTDocs at Gilbert + Tobin. "That allows our lawyers to spend more time shaping strategy, refining narratives and anticipating challenges, freeing them to focus on the parts of a case that drive the greatest impact."
Timeline visualizations make it easy to identify gaps or blind spots in the data, helping teams build a complete picture of events. The solution also generates holistic witness summaries that give users a clear view of each key player and support critical decisions about whether a deposition is warranted. Additionally, the solution provides a rich set of interview questions grounded in both the documents and underlying facts, enabling teams to effectively probe each individual's role in the matter.
"aiR for Case Strategy dramatically reduces the manual work of extracting facts and building useful timelines in Relativity," said Martha Louks, Managing Director, Discovery Technology Services, McDermott Will & Emery. "It offers a novel way to eliminate tedious work and allow attorneys to focus on case analysis and strategy."
Accelerating insight across complex, fast-paced matters
Relativity partner Page One, Inc., used aiR for Case Strategy to support its law firm client on a fast-paced financial services case where large volumes of lengthy deposition transcripts were creating significant pressure on the team. Using the solution to summarize and review 32 transcripts—each 200 to 300-plus pages—the team quickly identified and organized the most important information 70% faster.
"aiR for Case Strategy exceeded expectations by proving not just that it worked, but that it was repeatable, defensible and intuitive," said Andrew Milauskas, Chief Operating Officer of Page One, Inc. "We went from spending hours per transcript to extracting key facts within minutes. Our confidence grew quickly once we saw that aiR for Case Strategy consistently surfaced the same core insights we would have found manually."
Transcripts are central to litigation strategy, from depositions to hearings and trials. With aiR for Case Strategy, legal teams can unlock greater clarity from their transcripts through advanced automation and collaboration features. The solution enables users to automatically generate transcript summaries, collaboratively mark up and annotate testimony, and designate key excerpts for trial preparation and presentation. These enhanced capabilities accelerate credibility assessments and empower teams to plot next steps with confidence.
For litigation support professionals, transcript features introduce multi-sync video deposition capabilities, a streamlined workflow for importing depositions and associated files, and exhibit-linking tools that make transcript management more efficient and easier to navigate.
Breaking down silos to build cohesive case stories
Within RelativityOne, aiR for Case Strategy serves as a centralized hub that enables case teams to work from a shared repository of key case intelligence. Teams can move directly from document review into crafting their strategic case story and preparing for investigations, witness examinations, depositions and trial all within one secure, collaborative environment.
"What we're seeing now with generative AI tools is tighter overlap across teams, reviewers, case teams, and partners working from the same pool of insights," said Michael Frankel, Counsel at Troutman Pepper Locke. "The silos are breaking down, and everyone can contribute to building the narrative earlier."
aiR for Case Strategy is currently available in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UAE, Brazil, South Africa, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, with additional markets to be added over time. The solution is projected to launch in RelativityOne Government in the first half of 2026. To learn more about aiR for Case Strategy, join Relativity on Feb. 19 at 12 p.m. CT for a webinar that walks through how AI is reshaping case strategy to get to the heart of a case faster.
