1. We are a trusted and motivated New Zealand founded business. This means we have well-earned experience in the bubble tea industry and know just how to target the market.

2. All new franchisees will go through our extensive staff training. We have developed extensive manuals and handbooks that cover everything you need to know.

3. We have a strong support team across all areas of our business model. We can guarantee that this strength will be passed on to all new franchisees.

4. We are the most sustainable and environmentally friendly bubble tea brand in New Zealand. All of our ingredients, cups and straws are sustainably-sourced, recyclable or reusable for the good of the planet.

5. All of our ingredients are authentic and imported from the highest quality farms across Asia. This means our flavours are consistent and authentic.

6. We have a well developed and clear plan for our future to grow Noah’s Ark nationwide. We know that we are a unique business opportunity that should be available to all New Zealander’s.

7. We have built a strong relationship with our community over the last decade. This has lead to a loyal and supportive customer-base that is supportive of all our endeavours.

8. Noah’s Ark has a strong branding image and signature architectural design. Each store is designed to match its location’s mood. This is something we will help with if a new store is being built.

9. We have an extensive line of high quality merchandise that can be another income stream for your business. These include stainless steel cups and straws, tote bags, clothing, drink bottles and other branded merchandise.

Your Options

We provide a variety of franchisee options. There is no correct way to take this next step, but it is important that you choose the option that best suits you.

1. A Sit-Down Teahouse. Our larger format teahouses have seating and tables so our guests can relax, socialise and enjoy the full Noah’s Ark experience

2. Grab and Go Teahouses. Our kiosks and hole-in-the-wall formats are all about convenience and are perfect for smaller spaces such as shopping centre aisles and food courts

3. Start Fresh. Being local is vital to us, so if there are no Noah’s Ark Teahouses in your community yet, we’ll help you change that for the better

4. Buy Existing. Opportunities to purchase an established Noah’s Ark Teahouse will come up from time to time- so you can get up and running right away!

Our Promise to you…

We promise that all of our new franchisees will be fully supported and trained on how they can succeed. Noah’s Ark offers ongoing assistance in every way possible, whether that is how to make the drinks or how to fill out the stock sheets. No matter how big or small, we’ve got you covered. The Noah’s Ark training process is diligent, with new staff being taught to pay attention to the smaller details in order to achieve the big picture. We know that without our extensive training, we would not run as seamlessly as we currently do. All staff are taught every detail of how to run each store, following a calculated formula for each open/close to making sure it is done perfectly every time.
All new staff will be educated and informed about the ingredients and taste of our drinks, in order to be able to recommend beverages when needed.
