Muginoho International Inc., the parent company and franchisor of Beard Papa’s Sweets Café, is proud to announce a Master Franchise Agreement for a minimum of 10 cafés throughout Italy. The first location will be based in Milan, a city recognized as a world fashion and design capital, with a major global influence in art and culture.
The expansion to Italy is a Master Franchise Agreement between Muginoho International Inc. and Kamata Inc. of Fukuoka, Japan, and Milan, Italy. Kamata, Inc. is a fashion apparel importer and specialty desserts retailer with a focus on bridging the cultures of Japan and Italy.
“We are very excited about our new partnership in Italy. Kamata has a solid history in Italy and a strong commitment to quality and customer service, two hallmarks of our brand,” says Craig Takiguchi, president and CEO of Muginoho International, Inc. “Italy is a natural first step into the important European markets for Beard Papa’s, particularly for its rich heritage of fine desserts and a reputation as a launching pad for many established retail food brands. Cream puffs, it seems, is a universal language we all share and enjoy!”
