Following on from the success of the Gloria Jean’s franchising, the franchisor has joined forces with partner Dash Brands for its invasion of China and expects to open 30 stores before the end of 2010. Dash Brands also acts for Subway in Shanghai.

The move into China follows on from the Gloria Jean's Coffees incursion into India less than 18 months ago. Gloria Jean’s now has 915 stores worldwide and 367 master franchise agreements.
