CoCo to Exhibit at The National Franchise Show, Highlighting Flexible Partnership Models for Canadian Markets

TORONTO, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading boba tea brand CoCo Bubble Tea today announced it will exhibit at The National Franchise Show in Toronto on Sept. 19-20. At Booth 311 in Hall 5 of The International Centre, the CoCo team will discuss flexible partnership models with multi-store operators and food and beverage businesses, including options for multi-store development, store-in-store locations and co-branding.

CoCo has opened seven new stores in Canada over the past 12 months, including three in Vancouver, three in Toronto and one in Winnipeg. Building on this momentum, CoCo is exploring opportunities to work with prospective partners to develop locations in Montreal, Quebec City and other select Canadian markets.

At the show, a longtime Canadian franchisee who has worked with CoCo since 2014 and now manages more than 20 locations across downtown Toronto and surrounding suburbs will be available to discuss practical considerations for opening and developing stores in different local settings.

CoCo offers single-store and multi-store franchise opportunities, as well as store-in-store and co-branding arrangements. One example is Coco Asian Kitchen (CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice) Bowmanville, CoCo's first store-in-store location in Canada. The location opened Jan. 17, 2026. The format was developed for an existing restaurant operator seeking to add an established bubble tea brand to its business. It uses a compact CoCo counter, a curated menu of approximately 20 drink options and side-by-side signage for the restaurant and CoCo. It brings Chinese cuisine, dim sum and CoCo beverages together at one site, illustrating how CoCo can adapt its partnership approach to an operator's existing business.

For store-in-store and co-branding partners, CoCo tailors training, supply and marketing support to local needs. Multi-store franchisees receive support across training, operations, supply chain and marketing, drawing on both CoCo's headquarters team and experienced partners in Canada.

Visitors can also ask about a show-specific franchise incentive, with details discussed individually. Interested operators are invited to visit Booth 311 or learn more and apply through CoCo franchise website.
