Gong cha, the world’s premier bubble tea brand with nearly 2,200 locations across 24 countries, announced the signing of a 30 unit development agreement in partnership with SID Tea LLC. Led by a group of experienced quick-service franchisors—including Jose Vazquez, former Vice President of the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce, and former President of ASORE (the Puerto Rico Restaurant Association)—the deal comes on the heels of a successful entry into the Puerto Rico market, with the opening of the island’s first two stores in San Juan and Manatí in spring 2024.
