Established in 1989,[3] RFG was incorporated in 2003[4] to act as a holding company for several fast-growing brand systems. The company roasts and supplies coffee to its network.
A 2017 investigation by Sydney Morning Herald noted that hundreds of franchisees were left financially devastated after investing in the brands under the RFG umbrella.[14]
In December 2022, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission won a civil court case against RFG resulting in Michel's Patisserie and Gloria Jean's franchises receiving repayments and debt erasures totalling $10 million as part of a settlement relating to allegedly illegitimate marketing expenses and allegedly being sold loss-making shops.
