Summary
Own a flagship The Coffee Club café in Canberra Centre. Secure a prime corner location, backed by strong foot traffic and one of Australia's most recognised café brands.
About the Opportunity
The Coffee Club is seeking a motivated business partner to open a new café in Canberra Centre, the ACT's premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination.
Positioned in a highly prominent ground-floor corner location at the entrance to David Jones, the site enjoys exceptional visibility and exposure to shoppers, workers and visitors moving between Bunda Street, Petrie Plaza and the centre's major retail precincts.
As part of the centre's ongoing evolution, this new location presents an exciting opportunity to establish The Coffee Club in a premium position within Canberra's leading retail destination. Supported by strong daily customer traffic and a vibrant mix of retail, dining and entertainment offerings, the café will be ideally placed to serve a diverse customer base throughout the day.
Backed by one of Australia's most recognised café brands, franchise partners benefit from comprehensive training, operational support, marketing expertise and proven business systems, providing a strong foundation for long-term success.
Marketing support
The Coffee Club provides franchisees with national campaigns, seasonal menu launches, and monthly promotions that keep the brand front-of-mind. Each store is supported with local marketing toolkits, creative assets, and digital templates. The Coffee Club loyalty app drives repeat visitation with targeted offers, while refurbished stores enjoy a fresh look. Marketing support ensures franchisees benefit from both national reach and local impact.
Training provided
Franchise partners complete a comprehensive program including four weeks in-store with senior trainers, one week at Coffee Club’s Brisbane support office, and post-settlement on-site support. Training covers barista skills, kitchen workflows, compliance, financial management, rostering, and customer service. Ongoing learning is supported by Franchise Business Coaches, refresher modules, and system updates, ensuring franchisees remain confident, compliant, and competitive.
Skills
You don’t need hospitality experience to join The Coffee Club. We’re looking for motivated, customer-first entrepreneurs who thrive in leadership. Ideal franchisees are community-minded, resilient, and comfortable taking an active role in operations. Strong communication, team management, and financial acumen are key. Whether from business, retail, or service backgrounds, the most successful Coffee Club partners are growth-oriented leaders with a passion for building a trusted meeting place.

History
The Coffee Club was founded in 1989 in Brisbane by Emmanuel Kokoris and Emmanuel Drivas, with the vision to create more than a café – a social hub built on Good Food, Great Service, and Excellent Coffee. Joined by John Lazarou in 1990, the brand expanded rapidly, becoming a household name across Australia and beyond. Today, with over 300 stores across 13 countries, The Coffee Club remains true to its promise while continuing to innovate and grow.
