FROM THERE TO HERE

The first Esquires long black was served in the land of the long white cloud in 2002. In just thirteen years we have grown from a single coffee counter to a network of 23 cafés throughout New Zealand (As of January 2018) united in our desire to deliver our customers the perfect cup of coffee in an environment that promises a break from their busy lives. 

During this time, Esquires has evolved as a brand and as a business to better meet the needs of New Zealanders. There has been a small tweak here and a bigger tweak there, but nothing like the reinvention Esquires embarked on in 2016. Extensive research was undertaken and in response to the findings of changing consumption behavior of New Zealanders, the decision was made to evolve Esquires from a coffee house to a café and deliver an even more compelling franchise opportunity.

While we were exploring this significant evolution, we decided it was timely to also thoroughly examine every aspect of the Esquires franchise system. From training to support, from the menu to the brand, the Esquires logo to the store design, every component was interrogated, tested and then improved. The sum of this is a franchise offering that has never been more relevant, consumer focused and future facing. 

Applying a decade worth of learnings and responding to our customers’ feedback, the new Esquires Cafe franchise is a sound investment opportunity that is poised to deliver better returns and a strengthened network. Our customers will benefit from our new look and feel, revised service structure, and improved café style food offering. Our franchisees will benefit from higher yields driven by increased ticket averages and repeat custom.

This is an incredibly exciting time for Esquires as we start our new chapter. The opportunity exists for you to join us as we write the next part of our story by seizing the chance to open your own café, your own slice of the Kiwi dream. The Esquires franchise offers all the support and infrastructure you receive from a proven franchise system but allows you to retain your independence and drive your own destiny.

If you would love to own your own café, we would love to help.
