Boba Tea Chain “Teaspoon” Planning More Sites Like El Dorado Hills Town Center

By Jake Abbott, Sacramento Business Journal

(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) July 26, 2022 — […] Teaspoon is a cafe franchise that features an assortment of cold teas, coffee and macarons. The business opened its first location in Los Altos in 2015 and has since expanded to 20 stores across the state, including locations in Roseville and Davis.

Franchisees Ahmed Farag and Hady Abou El Kheir signed a development agreement with Teaspoon earlier this year. The deal calls for a minimum of three locations throughout Northern California, though Farag said the business partners are targeting about 10 locations, the majority of which could be within the greater Sacramento area.

The franchisees are both early retirees from the Bay Area tech industry, with Farag having spent more than a decade with Microsoft Corp. and Abou El Kheir with Facebook. […]

Teaspoon’s website lists 45 locations as coming soon, including a site in the El Dorado Hills Town Center at 4420 Town Center Blvd., Suite 110. The site is not listed in leasing materials for the shopping center. Farag said he and his business partner are not involved in that location and wasn’t sure of its status.

Neither representatives of Teaspoon nor the El Dorado Hills Town Center responded to requests for comment about the potential El Dorado Hills location on Monday.
