Japan’s favorite lemonade brand LEMONICA invites franchisees

Lemonade by LEMONICA, a leading lemonade brand in Japan, is offering franchise opportunities in the UK, as part of its expansion into Europe.

Established in Kanazawa, Japan in 2017, the business quickly expanded with almost 100 LEMONICA shops operating across Japan currently. An estimated 5 million cups of its lemonade consumed in Japan in 2021 and a typical LEMONICA kiosk sell two to three hundred cups of lemonade a day.

The brand opened a popup shop in London’s Soho area to evaluate the viability of investment into the UK market. It said it will open a permanent shop in London if it reaches the goal of selling 10,000 lemonade drinks from the popup shop, which will be operating till August.

The brand, which has been expanding its franchise operations outside Japan for some time, has exhibited at last month’s British & International Franchise Exhibition in London, and is offering   franchise opportunities around Europe.

Lemonica’s lemonade is not only lemon juice with syrup added, but is original lemonade made from whole lemons. The lemonade base, which is the key to the flavor, is painstakingly prepared at their own lemonade factory, using a special blender to extract and blend the different tastes and flavors from the lemon peel, the white sponge part under the peel, the pith, the thin peel, the juice, the pulp, and all the other parts, uncompressed.

In addition, Lemonica always offers more than 20 varieties of products and a limited seasonal menu that includes the sugar-free NO.9 Lemonade, seasonal fruit juices such as strawberry and kiwi, and hot drinks using tea leaves that go well with lemon.
