In just six years, the brand has expanded rapidly to become a global leader, with more than 300 stores and a loyal international following.

Australian Master Franchisor Derek Ha saw the untapped potential in Australia and opened the first flagship store in Victoria. With its immediate success and a growing customer base, Derek is now ready to expand nationwide. Combining his expertise in the food and beverage industry with Palgong Tea’s proven systems, Derek offers new Franchise Partners a chance to bring South Korea’s favourite tea brand to communities across Australia.
