Own brand

Nine products carry our own name. Mushroom gummies, capsules, chocolate, grow kits, creatine, whey isolate and BCAA. Not one of them is a cannabis product.

Build a Seven Leaves store in your market.

Committed operators, disciplined growth.

Seven Leaves is looking for committed operators who want to build a strong local business within a broader national system, while protecting the standards that make the brand trusted and consistent.

A broader wellness model

The ecosystem reaches beyond a single product category, bringing together daily wellness, functional mushrooms, performance, recovery, sleep, beauty, lifestyle products and responsibly governed plant medicine.

A premium but accessible experience

Refined enough for leading shopping environments while remaining welcoming to ordinary adults and first-time customers.

A structured operating system

Franchise stores are supported by a central head-office model intended to strengthen consistency, accountability and customer experience.

A national growth vision

Partners join a business working towards a disciplined national footprint rather than a collection of disconnected stores.

Your franchise journey

  2. Complete an initial fit and location review.

Who it is for

The strongest partners will be commercially disciplined, customer-focused and actively involved in building their local store. They will value clear processes, responsible retail and long-term brand consistency more than short-term hype.
