Bubble CiTea Continues Expansion with the Addition of a Third New Franchisee
Bubble CiTea has continued its growth trajectory with the signing of a third new franchisee, further strengthening the footprint of the British Franchise Association (BFA)-accredited brand, which now operates across more than 40 locations nationwide.
Later this month, the corporate-owned store at Leicester Highcross will transition to franchise ownership, marking the latest step in the brand's ongoing expansion strategy.
The new franchise partner, Aung, is an experienced franchise operator in another sector and will become a multi-brand franchisee by adding Bubble CiTea to his portfolio. A long-standing and devoted customer of the brand, his passion for Bubble CiTea was evident from the outset and contributed to his decision to invest in the business.
Aung's appointment reflects the increasing appeal of established, accredited franchise brands to experienced operators seeking to diversify and grow their portfolios. Such is his confidence in the Bubble CiTea proposition that he is already exploring opportunities for additional locations.
Supporting Aung throughout the recruitment process was Krishma Vaghela, BFA-accredited external franchise consultant and Franchise Development Lead for Bubble CiTea.
Commenting on the latest franchise signing, Krishma said:
"One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is supporting ambitious entrepreneurs as they invest in brands they genuinely believe in and helping them realise their growth ambitions. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Aung's passion for Bubble CiTea extended far beyond that of a loyal customer. His experience as an existing franchise operator, combined with his enthusiasm for the brand, made him an excellent fit for the network.
"Bubble CiTea's continued growth, supported by its British Franchise Association accreditation and a network of more than 40 locations, demonstrates the strength of the brand and the opportunities available to entrepreneurs seeking to build scalable businesses. I look forward to continuing to work with Aung as we explore opportunities to grow his Bubble CiTea portfolio further."
Krishma Vaghela, a BFA-accredited external franchise consultant, has been supporting the development and growth of the Bubble CiTea network, helping entrepreneurs identify opportunities and guiding them through the franchise journey.
As Bubble CiTea continues to expand, the addition of experienced operators such as Aung reinforces the brand's position as one of the UK's leading bubble tea franchise opportunities.
