![]() Back To News/PR Index | ![]() | ![]() | Founded in 2014 by husband-and-wife team Ginger and James Dimapasok, Café 86 began as a single location in Chino, California, with a mission to bring Filipino dessert flavors to a wider audience. With a loyal fan base developing quickly, the team opted to franchise and approached FMS and WCFD to help with the expansion. “Café 86’s growth
is a testament to the creativity and authenticity of the brand itself,”
said Devin
Conner, CEO and founder of West Coast Franchise Developers. “Ginger
and James have created a way to connect with customers that is incredibly
memorable, making it the success that it is. Our role has been to help
the founders translate that passion into a franchise system that allows
more people to experience it as we reach nearly 50 units by the end of
this year. We are grateful to be a part of their journey so far.”

Over the years, Café 86 has attracted national media recognition, including a feature on Hulu’s Taste the Nation and coverage across Food Network, Good Morning America, and The New York Times. Through the collaboration with WCFD and FMS, Café 86 has continued to expand steadily and strategically. Franchise development guidance, operational support, and targeted site selection work to ensure that each new location maintains the quality, culture, and distinctiveness that the brand is known for. “Reaching this milestone is a reflection on a carefully orchestrated collaboration,” Conner continued. “It reflects an intentional effort to scale a niche concept with integrity.” Conner and his team help the franchisor vet each interested buyer, ensuring the brand and the buyer fit. Together with Café 86, WCFD continues its efforts to share the brand across the states, says Conner. “Looking ahead, we’re focused on continuing this momentum – bringing Café 86 to new markets across the West Coast, and beyond, while ensuring every location delivers the same experience that made the brand a standout from the very beginning,” he said.
