Gloria Jean's Cafe - The Palms, Christchurch

The cafe is built. The team is in place. The espresso machine is on. It is now ready for an incoming franchisee to take the lead and grow the business.

Here is an opportunity to take ownership of a newly established Gloria Jean's Coffees cafe and focus on building the business from day one.

Located in a prominent position at the entrance to the food court at The Palms Shopping Centre, the cafe opened in May 2026 and is already operational.

Unlike starting with an empty site, the significant establishment work has already been completed. The cafe/kiosk has been designed and built, the equipment installed, staff recruited and trained, and the pre-opening marketing undertaken.

The espresso machine is on, customers are being served, and early sales revenue is building and showing promise.

·   Brand-new cafe fit-out and equipment

·   Cafe open, operational and generating sales

·   Established team -  staff recruited and trained

·   Opening marketing completed

·   Prominent food court entrance position

·   Great lease negotiated and in place

·   Established international coffee franchise

·   Proven operating systems, franchise support and national marketing

Gloria Jean's Coffees provides franchisees with the backing of an established brand, structured systems, operational guidance, training and ongoing marketing support.

Rather than spending months managing plans, construction, equipment installation, recruitment and opening preparations, the incoming owner can begin working on the business from day one

Following completion of the full franchise training programme - two weeks in Auckland and a further four weeks in Christchurch - an incoming franchisee will be able to step into an operating cafe and concentrate on:

·   Delivering an excellent customer experience

·   Leading and developing the existing team

·   Building relationships within the local community

·   Driving local marketing and repeat business

·   Growing sales and developing the cafe's potential

INGOING COST: $320,000 plus GST if any

This includes the completed cafe, equipment, franchise and training fees.

Founded in 1979, Gloria Jean's Coffees has grown into an international coffee house brand with more than 600 locations across 51 licensed territories.

A growing New Zealand network of 15 cafes continues to gain momentum, achieving strong sales growth.

The brand is built around flavour, quality coffee and warm, welcoming service.

Franchisees benefit from established systems, training, operational guidance, supply-chain support, product innovation and national marketing campaigns, while retaining scope to develop locally relevant food offerings.

This opportunity would suit a motivated, hands-on owner who wants the benefits of a newly established cafe without having to undertake the full development and opening process themselves.
