The Company celebrated its milestone with the opening of Michel's Patisserie & Cafe in Maitland, New South Wales in late December.



RFG CEO Franchise Andre Nell said the Company's continued network expansion was being driven by high demand for innovative retail concepts in the Australian market, as well as strong international growth.

The new Michel's Patisserie & Cafe outlet in Maitland is just the 10th of its kind, featuring a full format cafe store layout and extensive breakfast and lunch menu.

"Our Master Franchise Partner for Gloria Jean's Coffees in Turkey is soon to open the 50th outlet in the region, placing Turkey as the fourth largest region for Gloria Jean's Coffees across the globe, behind the USA with 60 outlets, UAE with 64 outlets and of course Australia with more than 300," he said.



Gloria Jean's Coffees"� first outlet to open in Hawaii commenced trading in November 2015 as part of the multi-million dollar refurbishment of the Ala Moana Centre in tourist mecca Waikiki Beach.



Listed on the ASX in 2006 with some 300 outlets, RFG has grown to become a leading global franchisor, with significant growth plans well underway.



"RFG's achievement of its 2,500th outlet commissioning is a major milestone on this journey," said Mr. Nell.
