HTeaO is a unique franchise concept that has perfected a simplistic business model, dealing primarily in iced tea. The brand is committed to providing a high-quality product, with all its ingredients fresh and 100 percent natural, in a fun and clean environment. Striving for precise consistency, each store is equipped with their own proprietary water plant, creating the purest tasting water. HTeaO has also created its own supply chain, to ensure each store receives all essential products, and helps keep costs inexpensive.

HTeaO values a strong partnership with each franchisee every step of the way, helping them build a strong location from the start. This begins with a Real Estate Orientation Training seminar, an in-person market analysis/tour, and demographic research to determine a viable location. From there, HTeaO is involved with the architectural plans, permits, construction, and certificate of occupancy. After the franchisees have been trained and the store is up and running, HTeaO continues to offer support to owners through providing access to a mentor, utilizing marketing efforts, and aiding with promotions and philanthropic activities.
