HISTORY

In 1997, Coffee World launched in Thailand by a group of entrepreneurs who believed that coffee would be the next big F&B trend throughout Asia. In 2004, Global Franchise Architects (GFA) was founded, with the dream of having one company with a single operating system managing multiple brands in various countries. As a franchisor, we also offer deserving entrepreneurs the opportunity and means to own their own businesses. Today, GFA continues our expansion, with Cream & Fudge opening in 2005, followed by Coffee World Restaurant in 2011, and our latest brand Thai Chef Express in 2014.
