Profile of the Parent Company

Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company. USA was founded in 1984. With its own roasting plant, Joffrey’s was the first company to bring the coffeehouse concept to Florida. Its first coffee house in Old Hyde Park, which opened in 1985, soon became a social gathering place for the urban professionals living in the surrounding area. Over the time, Joffrey’s expanded to other metropolitan areas such as Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota and Miami. Joffrey’s got further recognition and encouragement, when Walt Disney World awarded it the contract to open exclusively at location venues in the Theme Park and Resorts. With the acquisition of Sweet Life Desserts, and the opening of Joffrey’s own Bakery the line of scrumptious offerings expanded.

When Al Ghazzawi Group obtained the development rights for Saudi Arabia in 1995, Joffrey’s evolved into an international company. The rich relationship continued to develop with Al Ghazzawi becoming the sole proprietor for Joffrey’s Middle East.

Part of Joffrey’s corporate policy is to continuously provide training and guidance to its franchisees in order to ensure that only the highest quality and best products are sold and served to Joffrey’s customers worldwide. It also ensures that all of the Joffrey’s locations are development with similar standards although Joffrey’s encourages its franchisees to design their stores in tune with local custom and culture, which allows Joffrey’s cafés to become a true part of the local community.
