Die Die Must Try

Die Die Must Try, which means “something so good you have to try it!” in Singlish, is a Singapore-inspired Boba tea shop, that exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit at its finest. From their humble beginnings to becoming a newly beloved fixture in Denver’s culinary scene, their journey is a testament to courage, determination, and the power of community support.

“When we started Die Die Must Try Beverage Co., one of the biggest challenges was building our network of professionals here in Denver. Coming from the east coast, and from Singapore in my parent’s case, we had to start from the ground up,” recalls Ben Chow, owner of Die Die Must Try.

Navigating the complexities of starting a business from scratch in Denver was no small feat. Yet, Die Die Must Try embraced the challenge with unwavering enthusiasm. “The SBDC provided a great launch pad for us to make meaningful business connections here in Denver, as well as practical guidance on how to thoughtfully craft a business plan,” shares Chow.

“Through the SBDC’s entrepreneur course, Leading Edge, I was able to develop a strong, well-researched business plan for our Boba shop that was reviewed by peers and outside consultants,” Chow adds. “This business plan was used to secure a great location for our shop in Cherry Creek North, allowing us to be surrounded by other businesses that would attract our target market.”

Today, Die Die Must Try stands as a beacon of culinary innovation and cultural exchange in Denver. Their commitment to quality, creativity, and community has endeared them to locals and visitors alike. “I can’t speak highly enough about the training and support I got from the SBDC. If you are looking to start a business in Denver on the right foot, the SBDC is the place to start!”
