The nation’s leading iced tea franchise, HTeaO, made its splash in Arizona with the grand opening of its first location in Glendale’s Westgate Entertainment District in July. This milestone marked HTeaO’s debut in the Grand Canyon State and the 150th store in its rapidly expanding portfolio, with plans introduced for nine additional locations across the region over the next three years.
“We have received an overwhelming number of requests to bring HTeaO to Arizona, and we couldn’t be more excited to make it happen,” said Shane Clark, Chief Development Officer of HTeaO. “With Arizona’s warm weather and strong community ties, we’re confident HTeaO will become a favorite. We are proud to partner with a passionate group of franchisees who are just as committed to our mission of ‘Brewing Purpose’ in every neighborhood we serve.”
HTeaO promises a refreshing experience with over 20 meticulously crafted flavors of sweetened and unsweetened teas. Each is prepared using a proprietary water filtration system and 100 percent natural ingredients, ensuring a crisp and satisfying taste that’s perfect for Arizona’s sunny days. Guests can enjoy their favorite teas in-store, pick up through the drive-thru, or order ahead via the HTeaO mobile app.
The Glendale location is owned by TZONA, LLC, a franchise group of six partners who bring extensive business experience and a shared passion for community building across Arizona. The team includes husband-and-wife duo Kelby and Amber Friemel; father and son Cody and Mike Herrick; father and son Dylan and Henry Ito; and Justin “JT” Turner, who also serves as the local operator.
As HTeaO expands its footprint, the brand remains committed to offering premium beverages and creating lasting connections. With additional locations planned, including a second Glendale location in October, HTeaO is ready to bring a refreshing experience to Arizona, one cup at a time. For more, visit HTeaO.com.
