Since 1998 Hudsons Coffee has opened Company operated stores. In 2003, after years of testing, trialing and developing systems to ensure a successful transition, we opened our first franchised store in South Australia. To ensure the consistency of our brand, we regard franchising as one of the most important aspects of our business. Hudsons Coffee can only be successful as a brand if our franchisees are successful. We understand the decision to operate your own business is a difficult one. Hudsons Coffee believes our franchise model provides the support to optimise your business and your financial future. In 2004 we began supporting local people, interested in owning their own business through our Franchise program. Hudsons Coffee currently has 51 stores nation-wide, half of which are franchised. With our knowledge, experience and responsible growth policy, we believe you can find the success you're looking for. If you would like any further information please contact our Franchise Department on 03 9631 0205.

Grabbagreen was founded by two moms who found it increasingly difficult to feed their families healthy food on-the-go. What they learned very quickly was there is a demand for healthy food that tastes great and the demographic extended beyond moms. With a high demand, the concept grew to three stores in less than two years. In 2015, founder Keely Newman launched nationwide franchising and in 2018 Grabbagreen joined the Kahala Brands family and continued to grow the brand and bring healthy and delicious choices to more cities.
