Zinqué is a fast-growing lifestyle company focused within the hospitality sector. At its core, the Zinqué ethos revolves around providing an innovative all-day neighborhood hub to eat, drink, work, play, gather, and connect with others in a relaxed and stylish environment. By activating each location with uniquely-curated events, Zinqué is also a contemporary community clubhouse providing a dynamic calendar of performances, educational art activities, game tournaments, wine tastings, and culturally-themed parties. Zinqué’s newest locations integrate dining with lifestyle through À Côté, its modern European retail concept store woven into the adjacent restaurant, allowing guests to incorporate the Zinqué essence into their everyday routines at home. Other Zinqué revenue streams include events, e-commerce, and subscription services, supported by a strong marketing strategy and high engagement across social media and geo-targeted newsletters. With just eight locations, Zinqué has generated $42M in sales and was profitable in 2024 (2024 financials not yet reviewed). Over the coming months, Zinqué plans to open three new locations, including its European flagship in Paris.
