Does CUPP franchise in the UK?
If you love the idea of running your own fast food business selling bubble tea to thirsty customers, you’ll be thrilled to discover that, yes, CUPP does franchise in the UK. Whether you want to open a single store, open multiple units or even become an international master franchisee outside of the UK, CUPP will welcome your investment if you have the skills and capital required to succeed.
The history of CUPP
CUPP’s journey as a business began in 2009 in Taiwan. The founders lived on “the island that brought bubble tea to the world” [CUPP] and wanted to bring a wonderful part of their life in Taiwan to the UK. What better way to do so, they thought, than with a bubble tea shop? So, they brought bubble tea home, and they toured music and food festivals across the UK selling their delicious drinks before setting up residency in Cabot Circus. Demand just keeps on growing for CUPP’s offerings, and the franchise now has multiple stores in Bristol and Cardiff. As a franchisee, you could become a crucial part of CUPP’s expansion across the wider UK.
Spending their days sampling Taiwan’s huge variety of bubble tea shops, from small vendors to bubble tea franchises to tea growers in remote parts of the island, the founders of CUPP learned the true origins and authentic techniques of bubble tea and trained in a small independent tea shop in Kaohsiung to perfect this famous tea drink.
