The Ediya Franchisee Children Campus Hope Fund is one of the franchisee win-win policies. Ediya Coffee provides scholarships of 2 million KRW per person annually to franchisee children who enter university. This year, a total of 174 million KRW in scholarships was awarded to 87 children of 85 franchise store owners on this day. Over the past five years, Ediya Coffee has provided a total of 800 million KRW in scholarships to 400 franchisee children.

In addition, Ediya Coffee operates various franchisee support programs such as the 'Ediya Mate (part-time worker) Hope Fund,' 'Long-term Store Operation Franchisee Award,' and 'Customer Service Excellence Store Award.'

At the award ceremony, Moon Chang-gi, Chairman of Ediya Coffee, said, “We congratulate the franchisee children who are starting anew toward their dreams by entering university, and hope that all Ediya franchise stores nationwide will overcome the difficulties caused by COVID-19 as soon as possible.” He added, “The headquarters will continue to implement various franchisee win-win policies.”
