By: - July 19, 2025

A sweet wave of opportunity has arrived in Cebu as Ai-CHA, Indonesia’s rapidly growing Ice Cream and Tea brand, made its presence felt at the 26th Cebu Franchise Expo. It has become a standout international exhibitor at this year’s event, drawing attention with its signature premium tea-based drinks and a franchise offering tailored for the Philippine market.

“I won’t try to convince future entrepreneurs to join us right away. With over 2,300 branches globally, Ai-CHA has already proven its success — but I encourage them to take a closer look and decide for themselves if our product fits the Cebu market, because I truly believe it does, and that’s how confident I am,” said Zenneth Chou, Country Manager of Ai-CHA Philippines and a proud Cebuano, emphasising the importance of fit and market connection.

Founded in 2019 by the Lie brothers, Ai-CHA combines the Chinese words for “love” (爱) and “tea” (茶), embodying their mission of sharing the joy of quality tea with people around the world. After launching its first store in Indonesia in August 2022, the brand quickly expanded, signing over 280 locations in its first year. As of 2024, Ai-CHA has opened its first Philippine store and signed more than 80 local branches, signaling strong regional demand.

At the Cebu Franchise Expo, Ai-CHA is offering an exclusive franchise package only available to the first 50 partners. For just ₱640,000 (VAT excluded), franchisees can secure a deal that includes zero franchise fees and additional support benefits. The offer is exclusive to expo attendees and is available until Sunday, July 20, 2025. 

Cebu’s first Ai-CHA branch is scheduled to open downtown next month, marking a new chapter in the brand’s expansion across the Philippines. With its inviting product lineup, affordable entry point, and proven international success, Ai-CHA presents an exciting franchise opportunity for Cebuano entrepreneurs ready to tap into the growing beverage market.
