Tea and coffee franchise, Aromas, has relocated its headquarters to the Brisbane business hub of Murarrie as part of the company’s plans to increase franchisee numbers.

Since its establishment in 1982, Aromas has opened 11 outlets, located in Australian airports, and hopes to open another 20 franchises over the next three years. A number of these franchises will be located in major shopping precincts in Queensland.

Aromas director, Andrew Skarparis said the company’s move to a larger premises was inevitable because of growing customer demand and the recent purchase of a Probat coffee roaster.

Murarrie was selected by the directors for its proximity to the Brisbane Airport and the north and south coasts, he said.

With this new roaster we are capable of tripling our production of roasted coffee beans and therefore meet demand more efficiently.

The larger facility also provides extra room for training existing and future franchisees.
