Franchise Forum in Quezon City scheduled for 14 November

An event for people interested in starting a business is scheduled for 14 November 2026 in Quezon City, Philippines. According to an invitation published on HappeningNext, the Franchise Forum at Supremacy International will offer free registration and tastings of products from several food and drink brands.

An event for aspiring entrepreneurs

The invitation is aimed at people who want to become entrepreneurs but are unsure where to begin. It describes the event as an opportunity to learn how to start, plan and develop a business with guidance.

For those exploring franchising in the Philippines, events like this offer a chance to meet brands and ask about their offerings. However, attendance should be treated as an initial information-gathering step, rather than a commitment to invest.

The announcement explicitly states that registration is free. Interested attendees are also invited to send the message “FORUM” to the organiser to secure a free place. Free attendance should be distinguished from any costs involved in buying and running a franchise.

Brands featured in the tastings

The invitation includes free food and drink tastings. The brands listed are K-Egg, Sip Up Coffee, Supreme Burger Konam, K-Croffles and Supreme Slice Pizza. The announcement describes them as being among its best-selling brands; this is a claim made in the invitation, not an independent comparison of their sales across the market.

Attendees can use the tastings to form an initial impression of the products that could become the focus of their business. Liking the taste, however, is a separate matter from being able to run an outlet, provide the necessary capital and meet day-to-day operational demands.

It is worth preparing separate questions for each brand. For example, ask what outlet formats are available, how much space is required and what equipment might be included in a package. These are questions to support your assessment, not features promised in the invitation.

Nor should attendees assume that all the listed brands have the same costs, support or operating arrangements simply because they are featured at the same event.

Confirm the time and venue

The invitation itself gives the date as 14 November 2026, at 12 noon, at Supremacy International’s head office in the Hollywood Square Building, West Avenue, Quezon City.

However, there are inconsistencies in the event page’s details. The automated schedule listing shows 12 midnight, while the invitation states noon. A separate address in the location section also refers to Naranghita, rather than the Hollywood Square venue named in the main announcement.

Before travelling, it would therefore be wise to obtain direct confirmation from the organiser of the exact time, building and registration point. This is particularly important for anyone travelling from outside Quezon City or taking time off work to attend.

When confirming a place, attendees can also ask whether they need to bring anything and how the tastings and discussion will be organised.

Use the event to prepare for an investment decision

Prospective franchisees may find it helpful to prepare a short list of questions before attending. Prioritise the total initial investment, recurring fees, training, supplies and operational support. Ask for a clear explanation of what is included in the offer and what must be paid for separately.

If sales forecasts or investment payback estimates are presented, ask about the evidence and assumptions behind them. Do not treat a sample calculation as a guaranteed outcome for your own outlet. It is also important to request written details so that you can review the offer after the event.

Practical next step: Confirm the time and venue, prepare questions for each brand, and review the written offer before committing any capital.
