South Korean coffee chain Twosome Place says it will enter the U.S. market in October, opening its first overseas outlet in Alexandria, Virginia. The company plans additional cafés in the “DMV” area—Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia—before expanding further into other U.S. cities.
Twosome Place says the U.S. is its first major step in a “next phase of growth” and a “new chapter” in its global expansion. It positions the move as leveraging 25 years of experience in South Korea’s food and beverage industry, including pairing coffee with desserts and incorporating Korean flavors alongside local consumer preferences. In Korea, the brand began in 2002 and has about 1,750 outlets. PR material describes the launch as bringing a large premium café concept to the Washington, D.C. region.
Across outlets, the core details—October opening in Alexandria and follow-on growth in the DMV area—match, while coverage differs mainly in emphasis: one highlights the growth narrative and strategy, and the other frames the announcement as an official U.S. debut for the Washington, D.C. region.
