Qahwah House is a very early-stage specialty Yemeni coffee franchise concept that launched franchising in 2024. The system shows aggressive growth with 22 total units (18 franchised, 4 company-owned) as of year-end 2024, doubling from 11 units in 2023. The franchise requires a $60,000 initial fee with total investment ranging from $573K-$939K. Financial performance data from 10 units shows wide variance in sales performance, with average gross sales of $1.27M, median of $1.42M, but a low performer at $478K. The territory protection is population-based (50,000 people) with numerous exceptions allowing franchisor competition. Key risks include the very early development stage, lack of operational history, and extensive franchisor control provisions. The concept targets specialty coffee with cultural authenticity but faces typical new franchise system challenges around proven business model scalability and franchisor support capacity.
