[Heytea Reopens Franchising] On September 7th, Heytea GO's mini-program quietly relaunched the "I Want to Become a Partner" application portal, a move that was both low-key and cautious. In addition to opening the portal, the Heytea GO mini-program also updated its application guidelines, adding several risk warnings: reminding applicants to conduct rational assessments, invest prudently, and fill in information truthfully and completely; clarifying that submitting an application does not equate to establishing a partnership, and that Heytea can reject applications that do not meet the standards at any stage of the review process. This marks the first time the official application channel has reopened since Heytea officially suspended new franchise applications in February 2025, citing "rejecting meaningless scale competition."
