Theobroma, the Victorian based chocolate cafe and bar franchise, is in expansion mode in Queensland and Sydney and is calling for international inquiries too.

Due to open soon are the Bondi Junction outlet in Sydney, and Auckland's Botany Downs store. The franchise chain has six stores in New Zealand, 13 in Australia and five outlets in Malaysia.

Franchise and operations manager Wayne Wright said "We are extremely excited to be finally taking the brand to Queensland and Sydney. We see it as a great growth opportunity."

Potential franchisees can choose from four concept models and an expanded menu: in addition to the traditional chocolate, cakes, slices, cookies and muffins the menu includes breakfast, lunch and evening options, and a variety of drinks (non-alcoholic, and alcohol).
