Success Integrated with International Brand in Dubai
In 2023, We proudly facilitated the international expansion of Han-Ji Cheesecake, a Surabaya-based brand, into the global market—successfully entering Dubai as its first overseas destination.
The brand, which began with humble outlets in Galaxy Mall Surabaya and later expanded to Jogjakarta, Semarang, and Cirebon, took a bold step to penetrate the premium market of the UAE. Known for its luxury skyline and global business environment, Dubai was chosen as the launchpad for Han-Ji’s international presence.
This milestone marks a key proof of concept: local Indonesian franchises have global potential. Through proper systemization, branding, and strategic go-to-market planning, Start Franchise continues to support businesses to scale—regionally and internationally.
