HTeaO, the Texas-based tea shop for on-the-go people, has opened its first Arizona locations with plans to open more in the future.
In July, the Texas-based tea shop opened its first Arizona location, at 9161 W Glendale Avenue in the Westgate Entertainment District. Last month, HTeaO opened a second Glendale shop at 5254 W Bell Road. This is just the start of HTeaO‘s growth in the Phoenix area, although additional locations have not yet been announced.
In a press release, HTeaO’s Glendale owner/operator Justin “JT” Turner announced his intent to open more shops in the future. “We’re proud to bring a family-friendly environment and the freshest beverages to the neighborhood, and even more proud that this is just the beginning. HTeaO is here to grow in Arizona, building lasting relationships through great taste, local partnerships, and community-focused experiences.”
Turner is a partner in parent company, TZONA, LLC, a franchise group made up of six partners: Kelby and Amber Friemel, Cody and Mike Herrick, Dylan and Henry Ito, and Justin “JT” Turner, who also serves as the local operator.
HTeaO offers more than 27 different flavors of sweetened and unsweetened tea, all made using a proprietary water filtration system and all-natural ingredients. Guests can enjoy their favorite beverages in-store, pick up at the drive-thru, or order ahead on the HTeaO mobile app, making it easy to stay cool and refreshed in Arizona’s sunny climate.
HTeaO originated in Amarillo Texas in 2009. The brand went into expansion mode in 2018 under CEO Justin Howe and now has locations in Texas, Florida, Colorado, and more. The company is planning on opening hundreds of new locations in the next few years.
