Bambu Opens New Walmart Location in Westminster, Colorado

The Westminster location operates as part of Bambu’s store-within-a-store model, bringing authentic dessert drinks to customers shopping at the Westminster Walmart store. Designed as a larger-format location with expanded seating and a more elevated look and feel, the cafe reflects Bambu’s evolving store design. Thoughtful design details, warm and welcoming finishes, and branded touches like Bambu’s Chester the Red Panda mascot enhance the guest experience while reinforcing the brand’s playful personality, all without compromising the quality, presentation, and hospitality that define Bambu.

“This location reflects how thoughtfully Bambu can adapt to different environments while staying true to what makes the brand special,” said Marc Geman, CEO of Bambu. “By pairing an elevated cafe design with the accessibility of Walmart, we’re creating a space that introduces more guests to Bambu’s flavors, craftsmanship, and cultural roots, while setting a foundation for how the brand continues to grow.”

The location features a curated menu designed to appeal to both first-time and returning guests. Offerings include smoothies, boba teas, traditional Vietnamese coffee brewed using the phin drip method and freshly made mochi-style waffles. Clear menu highlights and approachable flavor profiles help guests explore the brand while honoring its Vietnamese heritage.

Geman and his team are leading Bambu’s Walmart expansion and overseeing the brand’s growth in new markets nationwide. Acting as the development group for Bambu within the Walmart model, they identify, award, and support franchise locations as the brand scales. As expansion accelerates, they are engaging experienced multi-unit operators who understand disciplined restaurant growth and see the opportunity to introduce Bambu’s culturally rooted, handcrafted menu to new communities.

Following its official opening on March 13, guests can enjoy handcrafted drinks daily during operating hours 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Saturday, at the Westminster Bambu.
