WHITE
A FRIENDSHIP. AN IDEA. A CANTERBURY BEGINNING.
For Adam Papa-Adams, loukoumades are part of his own story. Of Greek Cypriot heritage, he grew up with these golden Loukoumades. That connection to the food sits at the heart of Lookumades: a familiar favourite, made with care and served with generous indulgence.
Cliff White brings extensive franchise experience to their shared vision. Together, the lifelong friends combine a personal connection to the product with a practical understanding of building a franchise business — and a belief that a great dessert should bring people together.
Canterbury is where that experience meets the everyday reality of running a store. It is where the recipes, service, team training and operating standards are tested and refined.
INDULGENCE WITH STANDARDS.
For Adam and Cliff, the ambition is about more than opening stores. It starts with exceptional ingredients, generous hospitality and a team that cares about every detail. Those are the standards they want every Lookumades partner to share.
