    “Opening a Blenz Coffee Franchise has been a great fit for me and my family. I have the flexibility to maintain a healthy work-life balance and am proud to be able to serve delicious coffee and baked goods to my community. My cup is full!”

    Jennifer Szoo, Franchise Partner of Blenz in Fort St. John

    “Blenz Coffee provides a great opportunity for someone with a proven business model and a passion for assisting Franchise Partners in achieving their goals. Management assists every Franchise Partner and makes the coffee shop a success. Blenz according to me stands for great quality beverages and amazing work culture. I am very fortunate to be a part of this prestigious brand.”

    Efan, Franchise Partner of Blenz in HOpe Centre (North Vancouver, BC)

    “Our favourite thing about owning a Blenz Coffee shop is that we can meet great people every day! It’s a fun and relaxed working environment where we can serve specialty drinks and talk to each customer. We have enjoyed the opportunity to set and work towards our business goals.”

    Jin & Jamie, Franchise Partner of Blenz in Ackroyd Plaza (Richmond, BC)

    “From the moment I joined the Blenz family, I felt right at home. The experience and training supplied by the operations and marketing teams alongside the accounting support were all world-class. I’m already working with the team on opening more locations, and I can not wait.”

    Jay, Franchise Partner of Blenz on David & Bute St (Vancouver, BC) and Blenz in Steveston Village (Richmond, BC)

    “The innovation and creativity of Blenz products are what makes us unique. We serve the best quality drinks in the coffee industry. And we can get to know our customers on a personal level which creates a real sense of community in our store. People feel at home here, and that has made the experience rewarding and worthwhile.”

    Aman and Amrit, Franchise Partners of Blenz in Westbrook Village (Vancouver, BC)

    “I have been a part of the Blenz Team since 2011! It was my first job and I had never felt so welcomed into the working world. The owners, staff and customers became like family in no time. Once I decided that being a part of this franchise never felt like ‘work’, I knew I needed to step up my game and make a career out of it considering how happy I was while I was there. I had the best time staying in Vancouver for the training with HQ, each individual there is looking out for you and wants nothing but success for you and your future with Blenz. Team members from HQ have come down to my store and assisted me with hiring, training, and advertising my store all around town. They are an incredible group of people to work with, they listen and work with each franchisee to ensure they are content and things are running smoothly at each store. I have owned my store for just over 3 years now and am excited for the rest of my continued future with Blenz.”

    Ashlyn, Top Franchise Partner of 2022, Franchise Partner of Blenz in Penticton

    “Blenz Coffee is a great platform for me to achieve what I want. I strongly believe that a coffee shop is not just selling coffee or food, but an overall friendly and warm experience for all our customers. Coffee and food are just a way for us to deliver this experience. Blenz Coffee provides great quality drinks and is a well-known coffee brand within British Columbia, so all I have to focus on is how to provide exceptional customer service to all my customers. It’s been a wonderful journey since I join this team, and I wish you will feel the same way too.”

    Tommy You, Franchise Partner of Blenz in Maple Ridge

David McLellan

Leasing Manager

He/Him/His

I am a lifelong entrepreneur—well almost, but who’s counting? I started my company in high school and by age 24 was the owner of two companies: Pacific West Distribution Industries Ltd and Top Shelf Hockey Ltd. I am truly passionate about business and have enjoyed leading and providing opportunities for employees and partners. I am lucky to have worked and travelled to many countries to help expand my business relationships and have established many friendships in faraway places like Japan, China, Europe, and the United States.

I believe that following your passion is the path to personal and business success and that is what brought me to Blenz Coffee. After 20 years of business ownership, I joined Blenz Coffee, after selling my businesses and transitioning into the real estate industry. I began my Commercial Real Estate career at Hugh & McKinnon Realty and have also been licensed with: Sotheby’s International Realty, Homelife Benchmark Realty, and NAI Commercial Realty. I have 20 years of experience in the commercial real estate sector with a focus on industrial and retail sales, retail and Industrial leasing, and investment property sales.

Here at Blenz, my focus is to lean into my experience in business and real estate to help identify new retail lease space to help expand and open new locations in British Columbia. In addition to my work experience, I hold an undergraduate degree in Business and Enterprise from Edinburgh Napier University (BA) and a graduate degree in Management for the University of Illinois (MSM).

I like to think that success is a shared process enhanced by a commitment to building strong relationships that help create consensus through fairness and knowledge.
