Koufu launches milk tea brands in the Philippines

A Philippine pizza chain will manage the brands under a master franchise agreement.

Food court and coffee shop operator Koufu has entered into a master franchise agreement with Shakey’s Pizza to expand its Supertea and R&B Tea brands to the Philippines, the company announced in a press release. Under the agreement, Shakey’s will manage the brands in the country for seven years.

The rights include adopting a co-branding strategy to sell selected R&B Tea drinks in Shakey’s and Peri Peri stores in the first year of business, and subsequently to open at least five self-operated stand-alone R&B Tea outlets.

Shakey’s also now has the right to sub-franchise R&B Tea within the seven-year term. Koufu will collect franchise fees, royalties and marketing fees as part of the agreement, the press release noted.

As of June, Koufu has a total of 26 R&B Tea outlets and a Supertea outlet in Singapore and several others in Macau, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
