International Franchising
Welcome to the Butlers Chocolate Café
Since 1932 we at Butlers have devoted ourselves to bringing a little happiness to the world. We do this by means of our delicious chocolates. And, because nothing complements happiness like coffee, by means of our cafés.
The Butlers Chocolate Café? Well, imagine if you will, that the state of happiness had an embassy. That’s what we did.
We thought of a place where the ordinary world – the world that says you don’t have time right now to be happy – would have no jurisdiction. Somewhere individualistic, luxurious; somewhere that serves the highest quality coffee and chocolates in a stylish, welcoming and characterful setting.
We opened our first café in Dublin in 1998. And it was a great success. As a result, in the years since then, we have opened a further 14 Butlers Chocolate Cafés – in Dublin, Cork, Galway and New Zealand.
This experience has been extremely beneficial, giving us valuable time to work at improving the concept and developing the product range and service. We are proud to say that today in Ireland; Butlers Chocolate Cafés enjoy more success than ever.
In 2006 Butlers decided to launch the Butlers Chocolate Café concept on the international stage. And to do so by enlisting the help of capable and well-motivated franchisees. We reckoned that franchising would be the ideal way to introduce Butlers Chocolate Café to a broader audience. By combining the Butlers Chocolate Café brand with the expertise and local knowledge of franchisees ‘on the ground’, we could ensure that product and service quality would be maintained – with no restrictions on location.
We at Butlers are now committed to continue the roll-out of international franchise operations – on a phased basis and where suitable franchisees can be found. For further information you can contact us by clicking on the link below.
