[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Ediya Coffee announced on the 29th that it has surpassed 3,500 stores, becoming the first domestic coffee franchise to do so.

Ediya Coffee's 3,500th store is the 'Goyang Seooreung Branch' located in Deogyang-gu, Goyang City, marking an achievement 20 years after opening its first store, the 'Chung-Ang University Branch,' on March 1, 2001.

Ediya Coffee has maintained steady growth, surpassing 1,000 stores in October 2013, 2,000 stores in August 2016, and 3,000 stores in October 2019.

This June, Ediya Coffee established an ESG Committee to realize its corporate social value. Especially, with 'co-prosperity' as its primary corporate philosophy, it operates one of the industry's lowest fixed royalty systems prioritizing franchisee profits. The headquarters covers all promotion and marketing costs, and has continuously implemented support policies to assist franchisees amid the ongoing COVID-19 spread since February last year. It also continues social contribution activities such as scholarship support for franchisees' children and the Mate Hope Fund.

Moon Chang-gi, Chairman of Ediya Coffee, said, “The growth of Ediya Coffee over the past 20 years is a valuable achievement based on co-prosperity with franchisees,” adding, “We will provide the best taste, quality products, and services to all customers visiting Ediya Coffee in the future.”
