History

Boston was partly chosen as the site of the first location because it is a sister city to Hangzhou, the hometown of Ganqishi founder Tom Tong. A second location opened in Providence, Rhode Island on October 15, 2016. It closed its Providence location three years later, in August 2019. Its Harvard Square location closed in January 2020.
