HTeaO, a leading national iced tea franchise, is bringing its beverages to Arizona with the opening of its first location in Glendale.

Scheduled to open on Saturday, July 19, the store will be on the outskirts of Westgate Entertainment District at 9161 W Glendale Ave. Nine additional locations are planned across the region during the next three years.

Each HTeaO offers more than 20 crafted flavors of sweetened and unsweetened tea, all made using a proprietary water filtration system and all natural ingredients. Guests can enjoy beverages in-store, through a drive-thru, or by ordering ahead on the HTeaO mobile app.

“We have received an overwhelming number of requests to bring HTeaO to Arizona, and we couldn’t be more excited to finally make it happen,” stated Shane Clark, chief development officer of HTeaO, in a press release. “We are proud to partner with a passionate group of franchisees who are just as committed to our mission of ‘Brewing Purpose’ in every neighborhood we serve.”

The Glendale location is owned by TZONA, LLC, a franchise group of six dedicated partners: Kelby and Amber Friemel (husband and wife), Cody and Mike Herrick (son and father), Dylan and Henry Ito (son and father), and Justin “JT” Turner, who also serves as the local operator.

“We’re proud to bring a family-friendly environment and the freshest beverages to the neighborhood, and even more proud that this is just the beginning. HTeaO is here to grow in Arizona, building lasting relationships through great taste, local partnerships and community-focused experiences,” Turner stated.

To celebrate the grand opening HTeaO invites guests to free cups of tea from 10 a.m. to noon July 19. The first 250 customers will receive limited-edition HTeaO t-shirts and custom HTeaO Glendale stickers.

Guests can enjoy happy hour pricing, buy one, get one free cups of tea on July 19 and 20, and half-priced gallons of tea from July 19–26. Coffee lovers can buy one, get one for 50% off on all coffee sizes from July 25–27.

In addition to Glendale, HTeaO plans to open in several Arizona markets. A second HTeaO location will open in Glendale in October.

“As Glendale continues to grow, we still remember our small-town origins—just like HTeaO, which started small and now serves nine states,” said Glendale Mayor Jerry P. Weiers. “We’re proud to welcome them to our community and excited to host their westernmost location.”
