Macu Tea Announces Closure of Richmond Location
Macu Tea has announced the closure of its Richmond Capstan location, effective March 10, 2026. This decision marks the third location closure for the brand in Metro Vancouver within a span of just two weeks.
The Richmond location will officially close following the recent shutdowns of Macu Tea’s Burnaby and Robson locations on February 23, 2026. This rapid series of closures has raised concerns among loyal customers and fans of the brand.
Founded in 2008 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Macu Tea has gained popularity for its fresh fruit teas made with seasonal fruits and high-quality tea leaves. The brand is particularly famous for its mango offerings, including the King of Mango Smoothie.
Currently, the only remaining Macu Tea location is situated in Kerrisdale at 5971 West Boulevard. The recent closures have left many customers surprised and disappointed, with one Instagram user expressing disbelief, stating, “What?? Longest lines here. How are they closing every location??”
Another user shared their emotional response, saying, “I’m again, on my knees crying inside of the McDonald’s bathroom rn,” while another simply stated, “Actually devastated.” These reactions highlight the strong connection that many patrons have with the brand.
Macu Tea has expanded to multiple locations across Canada and the U.S., making its recent closures particularly noteworthy. The brand’s decision to close the Richmond location comes after careful consideration, as stated by the company: “After careful consideration, we will be closing our Richmond Capstan location starting March 10th, 2026.”
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential new locations or rumors about renovations and reopening. As the situation develops, customers and fans of Macu Tea will be watching closely for any updates.
