曾经火爆一时的文和友餐饮品牌正在全面收缩。其深圳门店已于2025年1月全面撤场1,广州门店也因租约到期停止运营1,目前仅长沙大本营继续运营1。这个曾创下首日排号超过5万纪录的品牌1,从初期的爆红到如今的全面退守,映射出"景点式餐饮"模式热潮的消退。
文和友的衰落与其经营策略息息相关。该模式因"重场景、轻产品"的特点,难以维系客流和形成复购1。文和友CEO冯彬对此反思道:"最大的错误是不够自信,既没把长沙风格做到极致,也没真正理解广深文化。"1事实上,品牌扩张初期就已显露问题——2021年9月,茶颜悦色退出了深圳文和友1。曾在2021年计划5年开设约20家"城市文和友"的宏大目标1,最终也未能实现。
Wen and You, once a darling of China's experiential dining scene, has fully withdrawn from Shenzhen and Guangzhou, marking a significant retreat for the restaurant chain that captivated diners with its immersive, Instagram-worthy dining environments. The Shenzhen location closed completely in January 2025, while the Guangzhou outlet ceased operations after its lease expired and was not renewed.1 The chain now operates only from its original base in Changsha, signaling a dramatic shift from its ambitious expansion plans of just a few years ago.
The decline of Wen and You exemplifies the cooling of the "attraction-based dining" trend that swept China's restaurant industry. When the Shenzhen location first opened on April 2, 2021, the venue drew over 50,000 queue reservations on its opening day alone, reflecting the explosive initial demand.1 However, this model of prioritizing elaborate scenery over culinary substance has proven unsustainable. CEO Feng Bin acknowledged the strategic missteps, stating that "the biggest mistake was lacking confidence—we neither perfected the Changsha style to its fullest nor truly understood the cultures of Guangzhou and Shenzhen."1 The chain's troubles were evident earlier when the tea brand Chayan Yuese exited the Shenzhen location in September 2021.1 What Feng Bin had envisioned as a major expansion—roughly 20 "City Wen and You" locations within five years as of 2021—never materialized into sustained success across different markets.1
