Franchising

The company’s first quarter network sales rose 8% or 4.3% on a same store sales basis.

More stores are expected on the border.

The chain says the awards are its opportunity to celebrate “a genuine culture of excellence.”

The move is expected to complement the company’s long-term plan in the region.

The chain is initially slated to open 20 outlets in the country and New Zealand.

This is the 74th store for the group.

It plans to grow in Sydney and teased new locations over the next two years.

This will be the company’s seventh store in the city.

The chain has over 100 cafes in Australia.

The franchisee-led outlet will be celebrating the opening with a free coffee offer.

The proposed location in Brendale will also be the brand’s second location.

The chain is looking for franchisees in key cities.

Interstate franchise opportunities will open up once the brand has established its presence in NSW.

Stores will have exclusive specialty flavors as part of the brand’s localisation strategy.

It is also seeking more franchisees, particularly in Brisbane, Canberra and Adelaide.

The new opening comes a couple of weeks after one in Brisbane.
