I personally don't think TL can sustained. Its merely a hype thingy. Same goes to all the
bubblebutt bubble tea company.
When something new viral, its going to go down and close shop.
Example - what is the previous viral thingy? That's right. No one remember.

Remember the burger hype? Especially the charcoal burger
Burgerlab is still doing well.. i guess those that started first are usually the surviving one, the rest slowly died

Tealive, or chatime presence is almost 10 years old in malaysia.
Way before previous viral thingy like hokaido cheese tart, or maybe even longer than burger bakar thing. I remember burger bakar hype circa 2011 - 2013.
At this point, tealive / chatime is slowly becoming necessity like kfc, mcd, starbuck etc.
So i guess they can survive.
TL first wave, also they probably have enough cash flow to tank for years ahead, but 2018/19 probably isn't a major year for them since the competitors are everywhere atm.
Also this TL companies have many different F&B belt under them to penetrate different market. I just don't think one should open more TL shops because the owner himself can tank open until 100+ shops himself..
I remember reading about TL in Bloomberg... want to go IPO with valuation of RM300mil ..
