The 600 s/f teashop compliments its sister location on Main St. "The debut of the popular Coco Fresh Tea & Juice at Sky View Center brings even more choices to the mall in a neighborhood that continues to attract a variety of national and international food and beverage chains," said Michael Dana, president of Onex Real Estate Partners, owner/developer of Sky View Center.
"Situated among some of the nation's most recognizable retail stores, Coco Tea brings another signature specialty brand to the residents of Sky View Parc and the community of Flushing."
Coco Fresh Tea & Juice is located near the entrance of Sky View Center at the intersection of College Point Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue, and is currently offering a promotion for buy one, get one free Bubble Milk Tea. Customers also have the added convenience of three-hours of free parking in the nearby parking garage.
"We wanted to expand our presence to another key location with significant exposure and consistent flow of foot traffic," said Ching Fu, Lin, president of Coco Fresh Tea & Juice. "Sky View Center provided an ideal space for our new location."
Coco Fresh Tea & Juice joins an expanding roster of national tenants including the 36,000 s/f specialty Asian supermarket Sky Foods, as well as Five Guys Burger & Fries, Famous Footwear, Neighborhood Grill & Bar, Target (including a Starbucks and Pizza Hut Express), Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, BJ's Wholesale Club, Bob's Discount Furniture, Chuck E.
