New Zealand-based Cooks Global Foods is eyeing the Australia and New Zealand market - one of the few places it does not hold the rights to the Esquires coffee shop brand.
The company owns the rights for the Esquires brand globally. But when this was purchased the rights to Australia and New Zealand were held by Australian company Retail Food Group.
Executive chairman Keith Jackson said while there were no definite plans at this stage, Australasia was an area that was "on the radar".
"[After the sale of the Australian and New Zealand rights] the directors of Cooks were prevented from trading with New Zealand for a three-year period," Jackson said.
"That period has now run out and so we are actually looking at options within Australia and New Zealand because we are a global company and we do wish to take our expertise and knowledge to Australia and New Zealand as well."
