Gong Cha Franchise Model Overview
Gong cha stores sell Taiwanese-style bubble tea, milk and fruit teas, coffee, smoothies and juices from in-line retail spaces of 500 to 1,500 square feet in strip centers, malls and high-traffic urban sites. The brand was founded in Taiwan in 2006 and built its U.S. presence through regional master franchisees; the current franchisor, formed in 2023, is buying out those masters and converting their subfranchised stores to direct unit franchises, which is why the direct franchised count jumped from 4 to 36 in 2025 while the broader U.S. base, including master-franchisee stores, slipped to about 200. The investment runs from roughly $200,000 to mid-six figures depending on build-out, with proprietary ingredients and an intelligent beverage maker bought through franchisor affiliates. Royalty is 6 percent of weekly net sales plus a 1 percent brand marketing fee, with total advertising obligations up to 4 percent. A full-time owner-operator is preferred; a trained general manager under a 10-percent designated principal is accepted.
