A new bubble tea store has opened on Liverpool's busy Myrtle Street this week.
After experiencing enormous success with its first University of Liverpool campus site, based in the bustling area of Brownlow Hill, the team behind the original UK Jidong Bubble Tea branch has opened a new flagship store.
The Shanghai-based Jidong Bubble Tea company boasts more than 2,500 stores globally, having opened its first UK-based shop in 2019.

Since then, the team has built a reputation for innovation and ingenuity with its refreshing menu including its signature bubble teas including new favourites Milk Foam Lychee and Sweet Rice Brew Light Lychee Oolong.
As well as bubble teas, Jidong has a wide range of Creative Mix Fruit teas, which are currently very popular, as well as its Herbal Jelly Dessert bowls and its very own Fruit Tea x alcohol range.
With Liverpool's thriving food and drink scene, as well as being a national and international tourist centre, the team at Jidong decided it was time to make a move into expansion.
The new flagship Jidong Bubble Tea shop's official launch will take place this Sunday, August 8 where there will be an opening offer of a free Jidong Herbal Jelly drink with every purchase of a drink to the same value or more. If you're keen for a sneak peek, you can still visit the new site now as it is currently open with 20% off all drinks during the venue's test operation period.
The new unit has dedicated seating indoors for up to 30 customers and will have an outdoor space with room for up to 20.
The menu includes all of its original Jidong favourites such as Classic Bubble Tea with brown sugar pearls, plus a whole host of fresh twists on Herbal Jelly teas and authentic Asian desserts, as well as the hugely popular Jidong Yoghurt collection.
Xiaoyu Zhou, Jidong Bubble Tea representative, said: "We are so thrilled and excited to be opening our flagship store, expanding our brand after the runaway success of our first outlet. It has been a challenge during these challenging times, but the reaction to our concept has been overwhelmingly positive.
"I am also delighted that as a group we have already created eight full time jobs and four full time roles. We are currently recruiting further personnel so I would be delighted if anyone who is interested gets in touch.
"We look forward to welcoming everyone to our new Bubble Tea shop, so they can enjoy our famous flavours, fun atmosphere and the perfect place to meet during this busy summer season, and our opening will see lots of special promotions so that new customers can try out best sellers like our Jidong Herbal Jelly drink."
The new Jidong Bubble Tea shop is open daily from 11am until 10pm.
