How the Franchise Started?

Hudsons Coffee was founded in 1998 in Melbourne’s CBD on Elizabeth Street, quickly establishing itself as a premium coffee destination using its signature Premium Blend.

Franchising began in 2003/2004 with the first store outside Victoria in Adelaide, marking rapid expansion into high-traffic locations like CBDs, airports, hospitals, and transport hubs.

Acquired by Emirates Leisure Retail in 2009, Hudsons grew to 65+ franchise units by focusing on consistent quality, Wi-Fi hotspots, and versatile store formats from kiosks to full cafes.

Today it operates 90+ stores across Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand.
