How much does a bubble tea franchise cost?

From £78,000 all-in for a standard unit. The figure covers licence, equipment, opening stock, training and launch support. Premises costs such as rent deposits and premiums sit outside that figure and vary by city.

Do I need hospitality experience?

No. Around half our franchise enquiries come from first-time operators. Training covers drink production, machines, costing, hygiene and daily management.

Can I franchise outside the UK?

Yes. We award single-unit and master franchises across Europe and internationally. Supply, training and launch support are all delivered from London.

How long until a unit opens?

Typically four to six months from signed agreement, depending on how quickly the right site is secured.

What ongoing fees apply?

A monthly royalty on net sales plus a marketing contribution. Exact rates are set out in the franchise pack we send after the first call.

Should I franchise or open independently?

We wrote an honest comparison: franchise vs opening your own bubble tea shop.

See bubble tea franchising in Europe for country-by-country territory availability, or read the full boba tea franchise cost breakdown with euro and dollar equivalents.

Single-unit franchise

— one store in one city, supplied through our European distribution partners.

Master franchise

— exclusive rights to a country or region, with the right to open your own units and sub-franchise. Investment is negotiated on territory size and opening schedule.

Why a bubble tea franchise works

Bubble tea has high gross margins, a young repeat customer base and a small footprint — a profitable unit fits into 30–50 sqm. The hard parts are supply chain, recipe consistency and staff training, and those are exactly the parts a franchise removes. We run our own Fulham bar every day, so what we teach you is what we do, not theory.
