Testimonials

“Opening a Blenz Coffee Franchise has been a great fit for me and my family. I have the flexibility to maintain a healthy work-life balance and am proud to be able to serve delicious coffee and baked goods to my community. My cup is full!”
“Blenz Coffee provides a great opportunity for someone with a proven business model and a passion for assisting Franchise Partners in achieving their goals. Management assists every Franchise Partner and makes the coffee shop a success. Blenz according to me stands for great quality beverages and amazing work culture. I am very fortunate to be a part of this prestigious brand.”
“Our favourite thing about owning a Blenz Coffee shop is that we can meet great people every day! It’s a fun and relaxed working environment where we can serve specialty drinks and talk to each customer. We have enjoyed the opportunity to set and work towards our business goals.”
“From the moment I joined the Blenz family, I felt right at home. The experience and training supplied by the operations and marketing teams alongside the accounting support were all world-class. I’m already working with the team on opening more locations, and I can not wait.”
“The innovation and creativity of Blenz products are what makes us unique. We serve the best quality drinks in the coffee industry. And we can get to know our customers on a personal level which creates a real sense of community in our store. People feel at home here, and that has made the experience rewarding and worthwhile.”
“I have been a part of the Blenz Team since 2011! It was my first job and I had never felt so welcomed into the working world. The owners, staff and customers became like family in no time. Once I decided that being a part of this franchise never felt like ‘work’, I knew I needed to step up my game and make a career out of it considering how happy I was while I was there. I had the best time staying in Vancouver for the training with HQ, each individual there is looking out for you and wants nothing but success for you and your future with Blenz. Team members from HQ have come down to my store and assisted me with hiring, training, and advertising my store all around town. They are an incredible group of people to work with, they listen and work with each franchisee to ensure they are content and things are running smoothly at each store. I have owned my store for just over 3 years now and am excited for the rest of my continued future with Blenz.”
“Blenz Coffee is a great platform for me to achieve what I want. I strongly believe that a coffee shop is not just selling coffee or food, but an overall friendly and warm experience for all our customers. Coffee and food are just a way for us to deliver this experience. Blenz Coffee provides great quality drinks and is a well-known coffee brand within British Columbia, so all I have to focus on is how to provide exceptional customer service to all my customers. It’s been a wonderful journey since I join this team, and I wish you will feel the same way too.”
