HTeaO, America's largest iced tea franchise, announced it has signed a franchise development agreement with South Carolina entrepreneur Steve Delcioppo and his family. The agreement includes opening an HTeaO location in Charleston later this year. The official location of this franchise has not yet been announced.
The company is known for its 26 flavors of teas – ranging from mint to mango fresco. These caffeinated and decaffeinated tea varieties come in both sweet and unsweet options, and any flavors can be combined to create something unique. The menu also features hot and cold tea and coffee drinks, such as the Texas Chai Tea Latte, Iced Horchata coffee, and other coffee favorites.
In addition to its wide array of teas and coffees, each location offers grab-and-go snacks, home brew kits, ground and whole bean coffee, apparel, and accessories.

The HTeaO in Charleston will be owned by Delcioppo and his wife, Michelle, alongside his brother, Paul, and his wife, Ginene. Steve will be handling day-to-day operations and brings 27+ years of management experience to HTeaO. The brothers and their wives first became familiar with the brand after visiting a location together in Dallas.
“From our first experience with HTeaO, we fell in love with the brand,” said Steve Delcioppo. “When we began researching HTeaO as a franchise opportunity, we saw how aligned we are with their values, culture, and transparency, which ultimately pushed us towards our decision to open our own location. We look forward to serving our community in Charleston when we open later this year.”
HTeaO currently operates in 14 states, has 450 locations in development, and projects to have 500 locations open by the end of 2026.
