Junbi is a growing franchise known for its premium matcha offerings.
Established in 2017 by two entrepreneurial couples, the brand takes its name from the Japanese word for “preparation,” a concept that underlines its philosophy and customer experience.
Rooted in the belief that matcha can fuel both body and mind, Junbi encourages individuals to embrace boldness with its “Prepare Daringly” motto.
Headquartered in California, the company launched its franchising program in 2020 to bring its energizing beverages to a wider audience.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Junbi provides a structured and phased training program to ensure franchisees are thoroughly prepared to operate their business effectively. Here are the main components:
Junbi grants franchisees a Designated Territory that typically spans a two-mile radius from the approved shop location, though this may vary depending on local population density, demographics, or geography.
For shops in captive market venues like malls or stadiums, the territory may be limited strictly to the facility’s boundaries. Once assigned and while the franchisee remains in compliance, Junbi will not authorize another franchise location within the Designated Territory.
However, the protection is not absolute. Junbi reserves the right to accept online orders, make sales through alternative channels, or use different trademarks within a franchisee's territory.
