Who is the franchisor
Esquires Coffee was founded in 1993, and the first store opened in a suburb of Vancouver called North Delta. The entry into the UK and Ireland came in 2000 via master license arrangements in England, Ireland and Scotland, respectively.
The founders of Esquires wanted a defined brand that was focused on fairness, integrity, passion, excellence, innovation, community, and sustainability. This culture has remained the backbone of the company as it has undertaken a global expansion into numerous countries. To date, there are cafes in the Middle East, Asia, the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia. With trusted locations all around the world, Esquires Coffee Houses provide a place for people to meet, socialise, and unwind with great service, great coffee, and great food.
Esquires multi-award-winning systems have been carefully integrated into each territory, providing a confidence that no matter which country and culture Esquires is operating in; the Esquires Coffee brand maintains its standards consistently.
