1. Bodyfit Training

One of the hottest fitness gyms that have taken Singapore by storm, it is not uncommon to see a BFT outlet whether you’re in the Central Business District area or in the heartlands. BFT has outlets all over Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and also the United States with Singapore having expanded rapidly over the past 3 years to have over 16 outlets island-wide now.

5. Jidechi Desserts

Chinese desserts have always been a crowd favourite in Singapore despite the many dessert trends which come and go. I got to say that Ji De Chi’s menu is extremely extensive, with shaved ice desserts, hot and cold sweets and also waffles/pastries to go along with your desserts.

With 10 outlets island-wide and a handful under planning, it goes to show the popularity and demand for Chinese desserts in Singapore and is definitely an option you want to consider if you love their desserts!

6. An Acai Affair

Acai has definitely taken the local food scene in Singapore by storm with its pretty acai bowls topped with nuts and berries and An Acai Affair is one of the pioneers of this healthy eating concept.

With 10 outlets island-wide currently, the team is always on the lookout for franchisees who share a similar passion for acai and have the capabilities to bring the brand to more communities.

7. Ya Kun Kaya Toast

Who does not love a kaya butter toast with thick slabs of butter sandwiched between well-toasted bread? Toast is a very Singaporean style breakfast staple and it is commonplace to see Yakun outlets filled with people regardless of the time of the day as many have toast as a tea time snack too.

If you’re looking to bring this local brand to different parts of Singapore or even overseas, we think this would be a good option given the brand name being a recognisable and well-loved one amongst Singaporeans.

8. Gong Cha

If you want to bring your passion for boba tea to greater heights whilst embracing your entrepreneurial spirit, owning a Gong Cha franchise might just be it!

The global appeal of Gong cha can be traced back to their start as a local brand in Taiwan—the birthplace of bubble tea, they’ve taken those traditional techniques worldwide through enhanced quality controls, a well-established supply chain and premium bubble tea. 

9. Prata Wala

First Gourmet has exciting, innovative and successful F&B brands that are available for franchising in Singapore and in overseas markets and one of which is Prata Wala, a Halal-certified Indian Restaurant, serving Indian favourites from North and South Indian cuisines since 2009.
