At Soul Origin, our franchise partners are the heartbeat of our brand, passionate people who love great coffee, fresh food, and genuine community connection. This month, we’re shining a light on Inder, one of our dedicated franchisees who’s built an incredible journey with Soul Origin since joining in 2023.
From opening his first store at Colonnades, Inder has gone on to grow his portfolio to include City Cross and West Lakes, three thriving stores that have become go-to spots for locals craving their daily coffee fix and nourishing meals made fresh daily.
A Fresh Start with Soul Origin
When Inder joined the Soul Origin family, he didn’t come from a hospitality background, but he brought something even more important: belief in the brand and a hunger to learn.
“I didn’t have a hospitality background before Soul Origin,” Inder says. “But I’ve felt supported from Day 1. Everything is there for you, the systems, the recipes, the procedures. You just have to believe in the brand.”
That confidence, combined with Soul Origin’s proven training program and strong support network, gave Inder the foundation to build not just one successful store, but three.
Serving Up Specialty Coffee and Fresh, Nutritious Food
What keeps customers coming back to Inder’s stores day after day? A dedication to quality, in every cup and every bite.
At Soul Origin, specialty coffee is more than just a caffeine hit, it’s a craft. Every barista is trained to extract the perfect espresso, steam milk to silky perfection, and create the kind of coffee that turns daily routines into rituals.
“I love the passion Soul Origin has around coffee,” Inder shares. “We really aim to be the best in the market. Every store has that same energy, we take pride in serving something exceptional every time.”
But it’s not just about great coffee. Soul Origin’s food is all about freshness and nourishment, with every wrap, baguette, and salad prepared daily using premium ingredients.
“For the salads, I love the Falafel Salad,” Inder says. “But if I had to pick a bread item, it’d be the Grilled Chicken Panini, I even ate it for a month straight once!”
It’s this mix of vibrant, balanced meals and barista-made coffee that keeps customers coming back and franchisees like Inder proud to represent a brand built on quality, consistency, and care.
Why Soul Origin?
For Inder, Soul Origin’s values were the deciding factor.
“I like the values of the company and the passion around coffee,” he says. “We try to be the best in the market we are in. That’s what makes Soul Origin different.”
The combination of structured support, training excellence, and a commitment to quality ingredients gives franchisees a business that not only performs, but has purpose.
