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.
We all know why organic matters from a health standpoint, but what does this mean for you as a business owner?
According to the Organic Trade Association, organic is the fastest growing sector of the U.S. food industry. Organic food sales increase by double digits annually, far outstripping the growth rate for the overall food market. The U.S. Families’ Organic Attitudes and Beliefs Survey 2016, conducted by OTA, reveals that America’s 75 million Millennials are now devouring organic, and they’re making sure their families are too. Parents in the 18- to 34-year-old age range are now the biggest group of organic buyers in America.
And with $43.3 billion in total organic product sales, the industry saw its largest dollar gain ever, according to the U.S. Organic Industry Survey 2016. This adds $4.2 billion in sales in 2015, up from the $3.9 billion recorded in 2014. For the fourth year running, the industry saw growth in the double digits at 10.8%. To-date, the industry has shown steady gains since the recession of 2009, with a growth rate well beyond that of the overall food market at 3.3% in 2015.
From the day we launched our first Clean Juice location in June 2015, we have been committed to bringing the organic and healthy lifestyle we are so passionate about to the world. What better way to do that than to partner with people who share this same vision?
