BEFORE WE BEGIN...

Thank you for thinking of us. We really appreciate your enquiry and are genuinely interested in what youcan offer to the Coffee Planet Family!

Coffee Planet is the future of coffee retailing, make no mistake. We combine the freshest and highest grade beansand roast them to our special blends in our very own roastery and then try to reach the consumer wherever they are.

But we are not selling it like everybody else. Consumers are demanding better quality, more convenience and faster deliveryfor everything in their lives. Well, we are giving them what they want from their coffee. And not just any coffee – great coffee, together with state of the art equipment and in every small easy to access space that we can put it. This is what makesCoffee Planet the most dynamic franchise brand in the world right now.

The possibilities are endless... EXCITING ISN’T IT?

COFFEE’SBUZZING!

Growing, selling or just drinking it!There’s no denying it!

Coffee is the world’s most popular beveragewith over 500 billion cups consumed annually.(Just to be clear, that’s 500,000,000,000 cupsconsumed in 365 days across the world!!)

Coffee is second only to oil and gasoline as the world’smost traded commodity.The market for Specialty Coffeeconsumption is growing at a rate of 15% a year.

Within the USA, 62% of over 18’s consume over 3 cupsper day on average and 77% of all adults consumedsome type of coffee beverage in the last year.

By 2012, coffee production will rise to 8.5 million tons.

That’s a lot of coffee!

Coffee Planet is a real-life example of what can be achieved with a bit of discontent with the way things are. Proving thereis always a better way of doing, saying or supplying something.

...the taste, the occasion and the ritual. We were tired,however, of having to try and enjoy our coffee in a totally middle-aged and traditional coffee shop environment. Well if you don’t like something, change it. And that is exactly what we did. We went right back to the beginning, back to the source - we found out who was growing what and how we could create the awesome blends you enjoy today. We built our own roastery and after trying every conceivable combination for what seemed an eternity, one day we did it - we hit flavour! It felt like we had struck oil. We had the formula.

Now we could really go for it. It was incredibly exciting -we started exploring new ways to reach our consumers. “Wherever they are, we will be right there for them”, we said. You name an environment and we are in it – at home, in work,at a gas station convenience store, in our own stores at lunch-time. You’ll even find our coffee in hotels and restaurants. When you need it the most, Coffee Planet coffeeis within reach.

We want to spread our coffee universe far and wide, giving great coffee where previously there was none. Oh, and in a way that is easy and convenient for our customers. We have become a true ‘crop to cup’ coffee company and we’re proudof that. When something goes right for you, you get a buzzand we’re no different.

Scientists have said for years that mankind needs to be busy looking for another planet...well here it is! Coffee Planet.

But how do you start a revolution? Fuel stations! Lots of people, all stopping for refreshment. Perfect! They could grab one while filling up. Genius! Out of this thinking came our fresh milk machine. A technological wonder. And thus, perfect gourmet coffee is now available in fuel stations throughoutthe UAE because we dared to be different.

We’re continually working on new ways to bring coffee to the people – all held together by the same common thread that holds everything at Coffee Planet together, our essence –

My goodness; stand-alone stores, supermarkets, student facilities, offices, events, residential towers - you name aplace where people gather and we’re currently exploringways of selling coffee from it.

Good thing we love it! So much so, that your interest in what we do at Coffee Planet means everything to us and if you’re getting just a fraction of the buzz that we get...well, we hope you’re handling it sensibly!

OUR STORY...

A global brand for tomorrow...

In fact we live off it!

We love coffee...That ‘dare to be different’ attitude iswhat pushes us forward – what keepsCoffee Planet turning if you like.

“Daring to deliver absolute coffee-quality, differently!”

WE ROAST OUR OWNWe are passionate about our coffee. And we want it to beperfect in every cup. It all starts at the source – the bean!All our coffee beans are hand-picked from the best coffee growing regions around the world. Our roastmaster spends time with the farmers each harvest to ensure we get thebest quality beans all the time.

And we only use specialty graded Arabica beans –100% of the time. They are the best. They give the bestflavours and the smoothest taste.

(By sourcing directly we also pay a fair pricedirectly to farmers so helping to improve lives)

The Coffee Planet Roastery is where the magic happens!Our Roastmaster blends and roasts our coffee to extractthe wonderful flavours and aromas from every one of our beans before packing them immediately to lock in theflavour and ship to our stores.

Is it an art or a science? Maybe both! But what we doknow is that it’s fresh. And that makes all the difference.Our consumers know it and that’s what keeps themcoming back for more.

Origins include: Brazil, Columbia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Indonesia,Costa Rica, Yemen, Mexico, India, Honduras, Guatemala,Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, Peru.

FAQFAQ

Can anyone become a Coffee Planet convenience store franchisee?In theory YES! But we need to verify that you have the skills, knowledge and the enthusiasm to make your Coffee Planetfranchise a success. You might be a fast learner that wants to do something different......either way, we’ll help you. You’ll alsohave to demonstrate to us that you have the financial ability to grow your business by adding locations in line with an agreed development plan.

What skills to I need?Having a food and beverage background is advantageous but what we look for in the Coffee Planet family is people who havethe desire to spread the word, understand the commercial realities of running a business and can go out there and sell sell sell. We will help you with marketing materials, point of sale and the business models that you should run your business by.

What will my total investment be?Well, that depends. Each unit will cost you approx US$15K, which includes the machine, desktop size branded housing unit, water filters, installation and some POS to get you started. It doesn’t include rental for site, advertising expenses or any specific taxes for your area. We would expect you to commit to a minimum number of sites for you to open each month so that you have a sustainable business and cash flow. We can discuss this in detail when you get in touch with us and apply to be a franchisee.

What support will I get from Coffee Planet?Now we have been running this business model for many years so we have ironed out most of the bumps in the road and built a robust business model for you to follow. Besides the equipment, branding, the best coffee and consumables, you will haveaccess to our financial models, standard operating procedure manuals, training from our engineers for your maintenance team, help with promotion ideas and it integration. We also have a management information system that can be licensed and help you control your inventories, deliveries and invoicing. We would even help you pitch potential clients with presentations materials! In brief, you get everything!

How many people will I need to employ to be successful?That can vary depending on the size of your operation and its geographical spread. As a minimum, we suggest that from 1-50 locations you would need 8 people and 3 vehicles. But we will help you work that out.

How many cups of coffee do I need to sell each day to make a profit?Both minimum cups sales per site and scale (more sites) play and equally important part in being a successful Coffee Planet convenience franchisee. If you’re selling less than 25 cups from your site each day, you should pack up and go home. Get it to 50 cups per site per day and you are in the money. Anything more and you can start dreaming about that yacht!

What locations can my Coffee Planet coffee box be best suited to?Everywhere! You are only limited by your imagination. (Or maybe your funds!) You have all the components you need to place your Coffee Planet coffee box anywhere that your consumers can reach for it. We think convenience stores, fuel stations, offices, foyers of tower buildings, hospital waiting rooms, shopping malls.... it’s a long list of possibilities!

Do I always have to use fresh milk in my coffee box?We like fresh milk. It tastes better. Consumers prefer it. However, we do have other machines that use a high quality milk powder that maybe suitable in some environments. Ask us about it.
