Three boba concepts have made announcements, including new markets, franchisees and a newly designed space in Ontario.

Bobaroma will soon open its doors in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Guests will find boba teas and mochi donuts in a newly designed space.

Crafted by Mindful Design Consulting, Bobaroma’s interior reflects the bright colors of its menu offerings. The design boasts a modern aesthetic with a clean backdrop of neutral colors, accentuated by a bold accent wall with playful cartoons of menu items. The integration of wood slats throughout the ceiling, front counter, and walls infuses natural warmth while drawing the eye vertically to visually combat the store’s compact size. The interior layout maximizes space efficiency with curved floating tables and counter-height seating, ensuring comfort without compromising on aesthetic appeal.

Texas-based Teapioca Lounge, a fast-casual franchise Taiwanese boba concept announced three new franchise units sold.

While all new stores will be in Texas, Teapioca has around 30 U.S. units in various stages of development. The brand currently has locations open in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Florida.

“The surge in boba tea’s momentum is remarkable, and the beverage’s enduring popularity promises to fuel further growth, which is truly exciting,” says Briana Liu who serves as part of Teapioca’s Franchise Development team.

Boba Cucue will enter the California market with the opening of a single unit in Lakeland, Calif. The milestone comes just weeks after a multi-unit deal was announced for Austin, Texas.

The fast-casual boba brand has packed a lineup of new stores into its network, including new units in Las Vegas, Birmingham, Ala., and three new stores within the brand's home state of Arizona. Boba Cucue is expecting to reach 30 new locations signed and opened by the end of the year.
