About the Franchise

In 2025, Kopi Kenangan entered the Australian market, opening its first outlet in Westfield Sydney with plans to open a second location in Melbourne.

Kopi Kenangan operates as a tech-enabled, non-franchise grab-and-go coffee chain with strong brand recognition in Southeast Asia and now expanding internationally.

The Australian presence follows an aggressive global growth strategy targeting 2,500 stores worldwide by 2028.

The brand specializes in palm sugar milk coffee and other innovative coffee beverages, with a focus on efficiency, quality, and affordability.

Franchise operation models are flexible to local markets, and Kopi Kenangan offers centralized support with marketing, training, and supply chain logistics.

How the Franchise Started?

Kopi Kenangan was founded in 2017 in Indonesia by Edward Tirtanata, James Prananto, and Cynthia Chaerunnisa.

The founders’ vision was to bring high-quality Indonesian coffee—specifically palm sugar milk coffee—to a broader audience by offering a premium yet affordable grab-and-go experience.

The brand quickly grew to become one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing beverage chains, recognized for delivering Starbucks-quality coffee at a fraction of the price.

The first Kopi Kenangan store opened in Kuningan, Jakarta, selling 700 cups on day one.

Fueled by several rounds of venture capital funding, the brand expanded rapidly to over 1,000 outlets across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, India, the Philippines, and Australia.
