BUSINESS REVIEW * Historical background Gjof Pearl Shake was founded by a group of young entrepreneurs in Quezon Province. It took several months of experimentation, product sampling and planning before the first Gjof Pearl Shake store was launched in March 2009. The name Gjof was came from Icelandic word “gift”, in which they decided to put this name as their gift for themselves and chooses the Gjof from Icelandic because their product is shake more with ice.
To this date, Gjof Pearl Shake has blended more different pearl shakes, a good for something that was widely predicted as a passing fad. Now, Gjof has already opened over 6 branches in Quezon Province and 10 branches in major shopping malls in and around Laguna and Metro Manila.
