Established Franchise Tea & Beverage Shop | 8 Years Operating | Remodeled | Low Occupancy Cost | NDA Required | Family Run Business Opportunity | E-2 Visa Possible
Confidential opportunity to acquire a well-established global franchise specialty tea and beverage business with strong consumer recognition, national/international marketing support, and an 8-year operating history at the same location. This turnkey store offers a wide range of made-to-order drinks including milk teas, fruit teas, brewed teas, slush-style beverages, specialty refreshers, and customizable add-ons such as tapioca pearls, jellies, and popping toppings. The menu also includes zero sugar options, which broadens customer appeal and supports current consumer demand for lower-sugar alternatives. The franchisor highlights extensive drink customization and published nutrition/sugar-level options, including 0% sugar selections.
The store has operated successfully as the same franchise for approximately 8 years and was remodeled about 3 years ago. All equipment is owned outright, in good condition, and nothing is leased. This is a true turnkey setup for an owner-operator or hands-on buyer looking to step into an established operation with staff in place. There are currently 6 part-time employees, and the team would likely remain with a new owner, providing continuity during transition.
Occupancy costs are attractive for the category, with base rent of $2,970/month and CAM that includes water and trash. Utilities are straightforward, with electricity running approximately $600/month and internet approximately $100/month. Current payroll is reported at approximately $7,500 to $8,000 per month. The lease runs through May 2030, offering valuable term for a buyer seeking stability and runway for continued operation.
The business is open 7 days per week and is positioned for a new owner-operator to take over a clean, proven store with an established customer base, modernized interior, trained employees, and a recognized product category that continues to perform well with a broad demographic. Product offerings span classic milk tea drinks, fruit-forward tea beverages, frozen blended drinks, seasonal specials, and a variety of toppings and customization levels that keep the concept relevant and repeat-friendly. The brand also emphasizes real tea leaves, frequent fresh brewing, and premium sourcing as part of its consumer-facing value proposition.
This is a confidential sale. Please do not approach employees, staff, or management and do not discuss the sale at the business. All prospective buyers must sign an NDA and provide proof of funds before additional business details, financial information, and identifying brand information will be released.
Serious and financially capable inquiries only. NDA and proof of funds required prior to disclosure of location, financials, and franchise identity.

Market & CompetitionThis business benefits from the backing of a recognized franchise brand with active marketing support and a strong social media presence. Brand currently benefits from co-branding from an iconic animated cartoon collectable cup promotion, Instagram account shows nearly 500,000 followers, the franchisor has also launched major national promotional collaborations, including a past collectible Pokémon-themed cup and packaging campaign, demonstrating the kind of high-visibility co-branding and customer engagement that can drive traffic and repeat visits.
Growth OpportunitiesThe business is currently operating at break-even and would benefit from stronger day-to-day managerial oversight. A hands-on operator can improve labor efficiency by adjusting staffing during slower periods, while a family-run model may offer a clearer path to stronger cash flow and improved bottom-line performance.
