Tealive ventures into North American market

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian tea brand Tealive has entered the North American market through its first store in Ottawa, Canada, and plans to open 50 more stores across the country in five years.

Loob Holding Sdn Bhd founder and chief executive officer Bryan Loo said Tealive has been focused on expanding in South-East Asia and was not particularly targeting North America until it was approached by an established business group involved in running pastry and bakery businesses.
