Reborn Coffee Expands into Produce with Mighty Oak MOU — Reborn Coffee, Inc.

Event summary

Reborn Coffee signed a non-binding MOU with The Mighty Oak Inc. to expand into U.S. produce sales, leveraging existing retail relationships.
The agreement covers sourcing, supply, and sales coordination for Asian-American grocery chains including H Mart, Hannam Chain, and GW Supermarket.
Reborn will act as principal purchaser and supplier rather than a broker, holding title to products until sale.
Parties aim to deploy AI-based demand forecasting and logistics optimization to reduce spoilage and inventory costs.

The partnership with The Mighty Oak Inc. provides immediate access to established retail relationships that would otherwise require years of development. This expansion aligns with broader industry trends toward vertical integration and data-driven supply chain management in perishable goods.
