Open a Franchise Store

Thank you for your interest in opening an Aroma Espresso Bar.

Aroma Espresso Bar develops primarily through single-franchise stores.

We believe that in a wholly owned franchise the proprietor is fully invested in the brand and committed to hands-on management. This assures the superior food and beverages, clean and friendly environment, and topnotch service for which Aroma is known. Your involvement translates into better customer experiences, increased brand loyalty, and maximization of profits for all stakeholders.

Aroma provides you with a team of advisors to ensure that brand integrity and our reputation for quality are properly maintained in each and every Aroma Espresso Bar location. In some cases Aroma will consider franchising multiple locations to one owner in a particular market (typically a city or county). In this case, the franchisee must be very well capitalized, committed, and skilled in order to meet our aggressive development schedule.

Qualifications for a Single Franchise:

  • 6 month franchisee training program.

  • Total commitment to your Aroma Espresso Bar.

  • Sufficient liquid assets to open your store.

Aroma provides a compelling business opportunity by offering an attractive package that includes a great product and a strong brand. We are seeking franchise candidates who will demonstrate a commitment to the Aroma Espresso Bar brand values, help maintain and improve the quality of our products, provide excellent customer service, and preserve our brand name and company standards. 


Financial Terms
• Initial franchise fee: $55,000
• Royalties: typically 7% of sales (paid monthly)
