Franchisees Open Third HTeaO Store

HTeaO franchise partners Alex Dinkins, Jared North, Drink Tea Holdco, and Pharmtea Piedmont have expanded their footprint in Oklahoma with the opening of a third location serving the growing communities of Piedmont, Yukon, and northwest Oklahoma City.

The new store opened June 13 at 12031 Northwest Expressway in Yukon. Dinkins and North also operate HTeaO locations in Yukon and Mustang. The operators said the new location was a logical next step following the performance of their existing stores and the continued growth of the surrounding market.

"We've seen firsthand how much people connect with the HTeaO experience at our Yukon and Mustang locations, and we're excited to bring that same connection and familiarity to the Piedmont area," Dinkins said. "What makes HTeaO special is that no two visits have to be the same. With so many flavors, add-ins, and seasonal offerings, people can create something that fits exactly what they're in the mood for, and that keeps the experience fun every time they stop by."

North said the expansion reflects the operators' confidence in the market and their commitment to the community.

"Watching this part of the Oklahoma City metro grow over the last several years has been exciting, and we're grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside it," North said. "We're proud to continue investing in an area that has supported us so well and look forward to creating a place where people can stop in, connect with friends and family, and enjoy being part of the neighborhood. We can't wait to welcome everyone through the doors."
