QWENCH FRANCHISE
OUR STORY
20 years ago, Thomas Nariman, founder of QWENCH, first entered the franchise world. Since then he’s operated 7 different food and beverage concepts from Johnny Rockets to Pinkberry. After opening 40 locations and learning the good, the bad, and the ugly in franchising he decided to launch his very own concept! In 2014, QWENCH was born with the goal to disrupt the juice bar, franchise model.
With the rise and growth of health-consciousness, Thomas saw the opportunity to take his experience and create a juice bar with a more forward-thinking approach. QWENCH #1 goal is to make genuine health and incredible taste live in perfect balance. Crafting the perfect recipe and maintaining the discipline to honor health is the heartbeat of QWENCH juice bar.
SUPPORT
SUPPORT – OPERATIONS
Our operations team is built to be hands-on with franchisees! We spend two weeks training franchisees in Hollywood, CA, and spend at least one week training staff at the franchisee’s location. Our in-depth program helps franchisees understand day-to-day operations including customer service, overseeing cost of goods, labor, hiring, and maintaining equipment.
When it comes to operations, we’re very serious about supporting our franchisees. We want to ensure a comfortable store environment for both our partners and their customers. Our training team will be available for ongoing support and new product introductions. Quarterly franchise meetings allow franchisees to get updated on new products, training, and new programs.
Our mission is to ensure franchisees can operate their stores to a high standard, preparing drinks and food that will reflect an exceptional customer experience.
SUPPORT – MARKETING
QWENCH’s marketing is designed to be hyper-focused on the local trade area. Our marketing team works hand-in-hand with franchisees in developing Grand Opening campaigns, so that the neighborhood immediately feels the presence of the newest juice bar shop in town!
To drive traffic to the stores we direct our efforts in guiding you to implement a variety of marketing tactics and the development of a Local Store Marketing plan which includes proven tactics such as on-site sampling, direct mail campaigns, bounce back coupons, loyalty programs and more. However, we’re different than most QSR franchise organizations. We’re investing major efforts into modern marketing tactics such as geo-focused content marketing in the form of blogging and of course taking advantage of the wide but targeted reach social media has on all platforms. Bottom line, a well-executed marketing plan added to our ongoing LTO and product offerings and continued support equals a successful QWENCH.
