Tennessee Native Signs Multi-Unit Agreement with National Coffee Brand
OMAHA, Neb. – (February 2022) – Scooter’s Coffee®, LLC, the Midwest-based drive-thru coffee franchise that is experiencing record-breaking growth, is continuing its effort to grow its presence throughout the United States by bringing its world-class drive-thru coffee locations to East Knoxville, Jefferson City, Kingston, Greeneville, Morristown, and Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Scooter’s Coffee, based in Omaha, Nebraska, specializes in artisan espresso drinks, fruit smoothies, baked-from-scratch pastries and features its signature drink, the Caramelicious. The company also recently added depth to its profile with a line of organic hot and iced teas, single-origin coffee and Cold Brew & Cream.
The expansion into Eastern Tennessee is the result of an eight-unit franchise agreement signed by Brad Davis. Davis was familiar with franchising as he owns multiple Marcos Pizza locations in the Knoxville area. He was looking for additional investment opportunities when he heard about Scooter’s Coffee expansion plan and decided to investigate. “I was impressed with the quality of the product and the speed at which they served their customers,” said Davis. “I also appreciated the relationship they had with their franchisee community.”
According to the latest market trends compiled by the National Coffee Association, 60 percent of Americans drank coffee in the past day. That’s more than reported drinking tea, juice, soda, or even tap water! And the number of people who reported buying coffee at a coffee shop or restaurant has risen 20% since January of 2021. The drive-thru coffee model, already popular in our fast-paced society, has boomed during the pandemic, giving customers a way to get a delicious beverage while staying socially distant. Scooter’s Coffee kiosks, with the Brand Promise of “Amazing People, Amazing Drinks… Amazingly Fast! ®” is helping Americans meet that demand.
“The company culture at Scooter’s Coffee really stood out to me,” said Davis. “As somebody new coming into a brand, it’s important to come into a company culture you believe in.”
“Eastern Tennessee has been a great area for Scooter’s Coffee,” says Kelly Crummer, Scooter’s Coffee Senior Director of Franchise Recruitment. “We are excited to onboard new franchisees and feel Brad Davis will be a great addition to our system.”
Approaching 450 stores operating across 23 states and commitments to open stores in 30 states, Scooter’s Coffee is in the midst of a strategic growth phase across the nation. The U.S. coffee market is an estimated $48-billion-a-year, recession-resistant industry, and with a 664-foot proven kiosk model, Scooter’s Coffee is striving to become the #1 drive-thru coffee franchise in the nation.
