Macu Tea Announces Closure of Richmond Location
Macu Tea has announced the closure of its Richmond Capstan location, which will officially shut down on March 10, 2026. This decision marks the third location closure for the brand in Metro Vancouver within just two weeks.
The Richmond location follows the recent closures of Macu Tea’s Burnaby and Robson locations, which ceased operations on February 23, 2026. The company has not provided specific reasons for these closures, but they have generated significant reactions from loyal customers.
Founded in 2008 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Macu Tea has grown to become a popular brand known 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 in Kerrisdale at 5971 West Boulevard. Customers have expressed their dismay over the closures on social media, with one Instagram user 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.”
Macu Tea has expanded to multiple locations across Canada and the U.S., but the recent closures have raised concerns about the brand’s future in the region. The company has not shared details about a potential new location, and rumors regarding renovations and reopening have not been confirmed.
In an official statement, Macu Tea said, “After careful consideration, we will be closing our Richmond Capstan location starting March 10th, 2026.” This announcement has left many customers feeling devastated, as reflected in another social media post: “Actually devastated.”
As the situation develops, customers and fans of Macu Tea are left wondering about the future of the brand in Metro Vancouver. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any plans for new locations or potential reopenings.
