Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational premium bubble tea franchise location in the heart of East Lansing's thriving market. This location is part of a world-class international bubble tea brand with nearly 2,200 locations across 28 markets worldwide. The franchise system has been consistently ranked #1 in Entrepreneur magazine's Tea Franchise category and holds a top-tier position in the highly competitive Franchise 500® list. This East Lansing location positions you within a proven system that combines authentic Taiwanese bubble tea heritage with a modern, scalable franchise model.
This turnkey operation features substantial built-in value with $350,000 in leasehold improvements and $35,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment already in place. The premium buildout eliminates construction timelines and capital deployment risk, allowing you to focus on operations from day one. Every system—from HVAC and electrical to specialized beverage equipment—is installed, tested, and ready for service.
The brand pioneered innovations in premium bubble tea and has established itself as a natural leader in the category. Tea masters source ingredients from the finest tea estates in Asia, and tea is brewed fresh throughout the day to maintain superior quality. Your location will benefit from comprehensive training and ongoing support from an established franchise system, along with access to a robust supply chain and stringent quality controls.
Dual Ownership Pathways: Whether you choose to continue with the established franchise and leverage its international brand power, or reimagine the space for your own beverage concept, the seller offers complete flexibility. For franchise buyers, you'll inherit an operation backed by proven processes for production, store operations, and guest engagement. For independent operators, you'll acquire a premium buildout that would cost significantly more and take months to replicate.
The bubble tea industry is currently valued at $2 billion worldwide and is projected to reach $4.3 billion by 2027. This location positions you at the intersection of explosive category growth and established brand leadership in one of Michigan's most dynamic college markets.
