HTeaO, the beloved iced tea concept sweeping the southern United States, has recently made a splash in the franchise industry. Founded by the dynamic duo Gary and Kim Hutchens, the brand has seen exponential growth, doubling its unit count from 63 to 128 locations in just 18 months.
With over 100 stores currently under construction, HTeaO is quickly becoming a household name in the region, offering a wide array of refreshing iced tea flavors and customizable sweetness levels to cater to every palate. The brand's commitment to quality and customer experience is evident in its impressive systemwide sales, which reached an impressive $51 million in 2022.
While HTeaO is open to partnering with larger franchisees, the Hutchens emphasize the importance of maintaining a personal guest experience at each location. In a strategic move to diversify its offerings, HTeaO recently teamed up with the Free Rein Coffee Company to introduce coffee to its menu, delighting customers with even more beverage options.
The success of HTeaO's new locations is evident, with an average unit volume of $1.35 million in 2022, showcasing the brand's strong appeal and viability in the market. Emphasizing community engagement as a key sales driver, HTeaO actively participates in events, giveaways, and partnerships with local organizations to truly connect with its customer base.
As HTeaO continues to expand its reach and offerings, it is clear that this innovative brand is not just brewing tea – it's brewing success and community connections one sip at a time.
