The appeal of bubble tea extends to a wide audience. While young adults in the 16-35 age bracket are the main customers, people of all ages and cultures are attracted to bubble tea because it’s a fun and personalised experience that extends beyond taste.
Bubble tea offers a textural element, for example by including boba pearls, which makes it more exciting than coffees or standard teas. Another reason behind the growing demand for bubble tea is the customisation element. Flavour, sugar and ice levels can be adjusted, making room for exponentially different bubble tea drinks you can order.
Sharetea bubble tea franchises can be an extremely profitable enterprise. We’ve been in the bubble tea business for over 10 years, and during that time, we’ve collected a lot of experience on what works and what doesn’t to help you hit your financial goals.
Sharetea happened to be my first business & Sharetea's operational model is perfectly tailored for financial growth. It's pretty easy to understand & run. Having been associated with the brand for almost 4 years, we have successfully transitioned to multi stores within the network. Head office support is consistent throughout this journey & the brand is expanding its footprint at a stable pace. For those who have worked extensively in their corporate jobs & want to break the psychological barrier of acquiring a business & making it a success story, this is a perfect option to go for.
Amad, NSW multi-site franchisee
As a first-time business owner, we feel truly honoured and grateful to be part of the beautiful Sharetea team from the very beginning. Sharetea continues to adapt, push themselves and their relationship with their partners positively. The partnership and commitment Sharetea office have given us has allowed us to grow our business from one store to two in less than one year. The quality of their products is great unlike other competitors.
Ujjwal, Tushar & Sahil, NSW multi-site franchisee
We have received high level of support from Sharetea, including the startup of new shops, resolution of operational issues, marketing promotions, campaign artwork, logistics, etc. You will have great self-satisfaction when you are able to make profit from your own business that's under your management. Our favourite part of owning a Sharetea is being part of a well-known brand. Sharetea promotes new seasonal drinks regularly and always looks for improvement in all aspects, such as ingredients, recipes, company image and customer service. In such a competitive market, it is very crucial for a beverage business to retain existing customers and grow its market share at the same time. This made Sharetea stand out to me when compared to other franchises.
Karen & Shirley, NSW & QLD multi-site franchisee
Sharetea has provided both Lina and me the opportunity to grow our business knowledge and at the same time have plenty of time for our young family. Anyone looking at becoming a franchise partner will always receive the level of support they need both from the management in Melbourne and headquarters in Sydney. Having able to constantly communicate with Anthony directly if need be, albeit he is in Sydney and we are in Melbourne, it gives us great assurance that we have the same goals - to have success for our business and further create a successful brand together.
Will & Lina, VIC multi-site franchisee
We both wanted to have an additional source of income and be our own boss, after researching the market, we found that Sharetea fit in with our goals and that the brand aligned with our intended market. We also found that investing in a well-known franchise made starting out much easier as the processes were already in place and enabled us to focus on other parts of the business as well as balance our family commitments. We’re grateful for the help and guidance from our area manager and this is particularly helpful in the early stages of growing the business! We also enjoy being a part of the store network and family.
Kim & Lan, NSW franchisee
Embarking on a journey with Sharetea Australia was tremendous. The last two years have been both challenging and rewarding, in the way that I was able to work with my dedicated staff, like-minded peer franchisees, and supportive HO teams, to win the hearts of our customers, in the turbulent time such as COVID. We’ve built up, slowly but surely, our abilities to serve our lovely customers and through collaboration with others, contribute to the growth of the whole network.
