About the Franchise

The Coffee Club is a leading all-day café franchise — offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, and more. It’s known for its comfortable atmosphere, modern menu, and quality service.

Franchise formats are flexible, including standard cafés, express kiosks, and drive-thru cafés, making the business adaptable to shopping centres, airports, malls, and roadside locations.

Franchisees benefit from comprehensive operational support, including site selection, staff training, business coaching, marketing campaigns, and ongoing innovation from Minor DKL’s franchise network.

How the Franchise Started?

The Coffee Club launched its first café in Brisbane in 1989, founded by Emmanuel Kokoris and Emmanuel Drivas, with John Lazarou joining shortly thereafter.

Their goal was to create a welcoming café – “a place to meet for a really good coffee” but with a touch of sophistication and affordability.

The company began franchising in July 1994, leading to rapid growth across Australia and into Asia-Pacific markets.

Today, The Coffee Club is owned by Minor DKL Food Group and operates nearly 400 stores in 13 countries, making it one of Australia’s most iconic café brands.
