Fast food franchises are always linked with heavy price tags, right? Wrong. Pho Hoa is making a bold move by removing its franchising fee for franchisees who want to push through with opening a co-branded Jazen Tea and Pho Hoa location.

This came as a surprise considering the restaurant’s feat as it ranked #2 in Entrepreneur’s Top Food Franchises list. Meanwhile, Jazen Tea was dubbed by Franchise Gator as one of 2019’s Top Emerging Franchises. The move came as part of an effort to inspire more co-branded locations.

“With our recent rankings from Entrepreneur Magazine and six new locations opening in the next few months, we want to keep this momentum going,” stated franchise development consultant for Pho Hoa Noodle Soup and Jazen Tea Kan Simon in a press release.

“We’re confident that promotions like this will encourage new franchisees to join our system and see how successful they can be. We have franchisees that have been with us for over 20 years and many others who have gone on to become multi-unit owners. We believe in the Pho Hoa and Jazen Tea brands and what they can bring for our franchisees,” Simon added.
