Drnk Coffee + Tea and Quench on franchise mission

September 19, 2017

Drnk coffee + tea and Quench juice bar — sister brands based in California — are expanding via multi-unit development deals for Long Island, Houston and Los Angeles. Construction is also underway in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the first of more than 100 co-branded units planned for the region, including Dubai and Kuwait, according to a company press release.

Both brands are also under construction in downtown Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks and University Park near the University of Southern California campus. All franchise partners have elected to develop the dual-branded model that "works in perfect unison for both the operator and the consumer," CEO Thomas Nariman, said in the release.

Even further development news is on tap for the northeast and south Florida markets, said the brands' VP and CMO, Mitch Baker.

"No other concept in this space offers two brands, on-trend and complementary to each other the way we've presented it. The most popular dual-brand model is the perfect pairing, maximizing operator efficiency per square foot," he said, in the release. "It's the perfect sweet spot, targeting a variety of customer dayparts in a proven model that works so well and addresses franchisees daily challenges when it comes to climate, limited offerings and maximizing operational efficiencies."
