Your Can’t-Miss Opportunity in a Thriving Industry

The Spice & Tea Exchange is the nation’s largest spice and tea franchise in the United States – and growing. If you’re passionate about food, health, and wellness but aren’t interested in the stress of owning a restaurant, gym, or spa, we’re the ideal opportunity. Our franchise owners are on site every day, managing their stores and being an active part of the local community. As a Spice & Tea franchise owner, you can immerse yourself in your passion while also creating a successful business and providing an invaluable resource for local home cooks and tea lovers.

A Low-Cost Labor Model

The Spice & Tea Exchange is one of the smartest investments in the spice and tea industries. We’ve built our labor model to maximize profits and to help you scale your business over time. The majority of our franchisees start out operating their store themselves, cutting down the need to hire full-time employees. Instead, they can hire part-time employees and base labor hours on sales volume. As business picks up, you’ll be able to make smart labor decisions that don’t adversely affect your bottom line. Our low-cost labor model also enables franchisees to expand your footprint with more stores - in fact, 45% of our franchisees are multi-unit owners.
