Presotea®
What Is Presotea?
Presotea is a tea shop franchise concept offering fresh-brewed, made-to-order tea beverages prepared with an espresso-type machine and seasonal fresh fruits and ingredients. This FDD describes a Master Franchise (subfranchising) offering under which the Master Franchisee is authorized to sell and support Presotea Shops in a designated protected area and must open at least 10 Presotea shops within six years. The Master Franchisee must provide training, equipment, inventory, supplies and branded items to subfranchisees and is required to prepare its own FDD and franchise agreements for subfranchise sales.
Presotea Franchise: Pros and Cons
The franchise's most notable strength is a comprehensive initial training program costing $32,000–$34,000 (top 5–10%), which should reduce first-year operational mistakes, while its biggest risk is that the franchisor has reacquired eight outlets (well above typical), suggesting a higher-than-normal franchisee exit rate.
Pros
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
Presotea reported no material legal proceedings,
Territory Protection
Presotea grants a protected, exclusive geographic Territory (Exhibit B) for franchising and marketing, with market-density controls. Territory rights are contingent on performance quotas-break-even by year three; 20% margins in years four–five; at least ten shops by year six-and the franchisor may develop surrounding markets.
Training & Support
The brand provides a robust 120-hour training curriculum designed to prepare three managerial staff members for launch, combining classroom instruction with practical operational modules. The program includes on-site launch assistance to support operational readiness, with travel and living expenses managed by the franchisee and additional on-site support available for an extra fee.
Unit Growth Analysis
The franchise exhibits a volatile but ultimately declining trajectory: after a sharp expansion from 18 units in 2022 to 29 in 2023 (+61.1%), unit counts fell to 20 in 2024 (−31.0%) and then to 13 in 2025 (−35.0%). Two consecutive large negative growth rates following the 2023 spike indicate accelerating contraction and deteriorating franchise health, raising elevated risk for investors unless underlying causes (closures, franchisee attrition, or market pullback) are addressed.
