Gloria Jean’s Coffees, a leading specialty coffee house in Australia, will open 13 shops in the United Kingdom in the next year. The move is part of a larger 10-year plan by its parent company, Retail Food Group (RFP), to bring 190 outlets to the country.
The first Gloria Jean’s location will open in Glasgow in July under an agreement with local businessman, Naweed Nasir.
Retail Food Group is the largest multi-brand retail food franchiser in Australia with a network of nine brands and more than 2,400 outlets in more than 80 territories.“The Agreement will not only enable RFG’s first Gloria Jean’s outlet to open in the United Kingdom, but it will also be our first outlet outside Australia to represent the ‘Gloria Jean’s of the future’ - a significant brand renovation where all elements of the brand have been rigorously reviewed and tested,” said Retail Food Group c.e.o.
