A Fast-Growing Industry

Gong cha Mixes Authenticity with a Modern Business Model

The global appeal of Gong cha can be traced back to our start as a local brand in Taiwan—the birthplace of bubble tea. We began innovating from day one, originating the milk foam tea phenomenon and turning bubble tea into a well-loved treat.

Today, we’ve taken those traditional techniques worldwide through enhanced quality controls, a well-established supply chain and premium bubble tea. With Gong cha, you get the perfect mix of classic bubble tea experience within a modern franchising model.

Gong cha as a franchise model provides great support with one-stop-shop inventory ordering, new seasonal ingredients that are both innovative and delicious and ongoing operational support.

Gong cha is already a well-recognized bubble tea franchise internationally, and now is the chance to become part of a franchise that’s rapidly growing here in the U.S.

My first location opened two and a half years ago. Now we have six Gong cha locations in Calgary. I believe in Gong cha’s products and I’ve received excellent support from everyone at Gong cha’s headquarters. It’s the best quality and the best service.

The first time I heard about Gong cha was on my honeymoon. I grabbed a pamphlet, came back and started communicating with the team in Taiwan. They’re really honest and have always been supportive to us. All business is about people, and Gong cha has good people.
