PORT DICKSON, 7 January 2026 – Fresh off opening its 1,000th store globally, ZUS COFFEE kicked off the new year with a Drip & Drop music event at its destination outlet in Port Dickson (PD Waterfront) on 3 January 2026.
From its very first kiosk in Kuala Lumpur in 2019, ZUS COFFEE has grown into a regional community, now present in Singapore, the Philippines, Brunei and most recently, Thailand — showcasing one of the fastest growths by a Southeast Asian coffee chain. At every step, the brand has stayed true to its mission: making specialty coffee accessible for everyone.
Celebrating the start to 2026 with Malaysians in true ZUS style, the Drip & Drop music event featured local deejays Jemput Dengar and Iylia — creating the perfect soundtrack for an evening of specialty coffee and celebration, set against the seaside breeze and golden glow of the coastline sunset.
Tony Thein, one of the co-founders and Chief Executive Officer of ZUS COFFEE Malaysia & Singapore, shared, “The PD Waterfront store is our very first outlet to feature not just ZUS COFFEE’s innovative beverage menu, but also displays an assortment of our merchandise, including instant products made with premium ingredients such as Arabica coffee beans and locally sourced Liberica coffee beans.
When customers visit this destination outlet, we want them to unwind within the world of ZUS COFFEE while overlooking the beautiful sunset view of Port Dickson, and we’re excited to enhance this experience with today’s coffee music event.”
Inspired by Port Dickson’s laid-back beach culture, which is one of Malaysia’s key tourism spots, the PD Waterfront outlet brings a coastal personality to the ZUS COFFEE experience. Think beach chairs, surfboards, natural textures, and expansive waterfront views, all designed to create an easygoing, Instagram-friendly hangout spot for locals and holiday-goers alike.
“To us, Port Dickson is more than a holiday destination — it is a community. We want ZUS COFFEE to be the space that strengthens the connection between communities — a space to relax and recharge during your beach outings, morning jogs or sunset walks, with a great cup of coffee in hand. As we begin the new year, the connections we built in 2025 continue to shape how we improve our customer experiences, while remaining rooted in the communities we serve,” added Tony.
The PD Waterfront stop marked the ending of ZUS COFFEE’s Drip & Drop music series, following earlier editions in Singapore (8 November) and the Philippines (22 November) last year. Although it was scheduled to begin at 6PM, fans queued hours earlier — eager for exclusive giveaways and first tastes of upcoming beverages. This music event reflects the brand’s commitment to connect with local communities across markets, setting the direction for how ZUS COFFEE continues to evolve its approach to serving its coffee to the community across the region.
