CP Cambodia Co Ltd-owned Star Coffee is offering young entrepreneurs an exciting chance to set up their own outlets through a franchising model.

Opening coffee shops is becoming a popular trend in the Kingdom with demand for the beverage rising, but the costs and tedious process involved in setting up a cafe could be a daunting task for new startups.

CP Cambodia’s franchising route could be a viable business model for young entreprising individuals to venture into the business world.

The company offers a range of support services for new franchisees – from setting up the business and designing and decorating the outlet, to providing training on brewing quality coffee and offering astute market guidance.

Its first outlet was established in Ang Snoul, Kandal province, with the latest in Phnom Penh’s Teuk Thla commune.

“Our main purpose is to provide high quality products with the best hygiene standards at affordable prices to Cambodian customers, while also providing opportunities to those who wish to own a franchise business.

“CP Cambodia’s Star Coffee business motto is: ‘Spend low capital, get high profits’.

“Our experienced staff will assist new franchise owners in setting up a shop and making perfect coffee a,” said CP Cambodia’s Star Coffee business general manager Kittisak Rungruang.

Star Coffee’s wide range of beverage products, such as coffee, green tea, lemon tea and soda, and its many other delicious snacks are produced using quality ingredients with the highest standards of hygiene and safety.

These products are sold at all Star Coffee outlets, and outside delivery is also available.

“I chose Star Coffee because of its reputation in Cambodia. And also because investment is low to start a business and profits are high.

“I also received a lot of support from the management to set up my coffee shop,” said Star Coffee business partner Misak Mey from Kampong Cham.
