Earlier this year, Gong cha announced the introduction of direct franchising in the Americas. This store opening marks both the brand’s entry into the Las Vegas market, as well as its second ever direct franchisees in the U.S.–James Huh and his daughter Erica Huh. 

“Bubble tea is extremely popular in Las Vegas, but we noticed there were no Gong cha locations in the market,” says James. “Being familiar with the brand’s global popularity, strong reputation, and superior quality product, my daughter and I decided to apply to be the first franchisees to bring Gong cha to Las Vegas. We are proud to introduce one of the world’s most famous bubble tea brands to our local community, and hope to grow together.” Beverage, Fast Casual, Franchising, Growth, News, Gong cha
