To enter the Canadian market, The Venti established a local corporation called 'The Venti Vancouver Canada' with a local partner and decided to open a store in British Columbia. The company explained that the selected commercial area is a region with an established Asian community, and it has a high foot traffic due to the presence of Richmond subway station, large shopping malls, banks, city hall, and government offices.

A representative from The Venti said, "Considering the preference for cost-effective products and the high interest in K-food due to the Korean Wave, we chose Canada as the first country for overseas expansion. Canada is one of the countries with high per capita coffee consumption, and especially British Columbia, where the first Canadian store will be located, has many Asian immigrants, so we expect The Venti to demonstrate strong competitiveness."

The Venti plans to design the store space using the brand’s unique purple color and develop a menu featuring various newly created flavored beverages.
