Founded in 2011 in London, Bubbleology has expanded its presence to eight countries across Europe and the Middle East.
The firm offers 12 types of milk teas, ten fruit teas and create-your-own brews, with flavours such as matcha, almond, coconut, mango, white peach, strawberry and kiwi.
Bubbleology founder Assad Khan said: "Bubbleology's take on a Taiwanese favorite has been a hit since we opened the first location in Soho, London, in 2011.
"There's a clear opportunity to build a presence for bubble tea in the US market, and we intend to fill an existing void with the help of entrepreneurial-minded Bubbleology owners nationwide."
The franchise opportunities include both in-line and kiosk locations, as well as single and multi store development.
The initial franchise fee is $30,000, and interested franchisees must have $100,000 liquid assets and $300,000 net worth for each store.
Bubbleology has more than 70 locations across Europe and the Middle East.
