OMAHA, Neb. – (February, 14, 2024) – Scooter’s Coffee, LLC, the Midwest-based drive-thru coffee franchise experiencing record-breaking growth, continues its expansion throughout the United States by bringing its world-class coffee kiosks to West Little Rock and Conway, Arkansas.
The expansion is a result of a multi-unit agreement signed by Saifullah “Saif” Beg, his brothers, Faheemullah Beg and Moeezullah Beg, and their cousin Rizwan Uddin. Saif worked in business development, and his employer was thinking about bringing a coffee concept into their portfolio. “We checked out Scooter’s Coffee, but the company decided to go a different direction.” Beg, however, was impressed and thought this would be a good way to start something of his own. “I loved the Scooter’s Coffee business model — their fast, friendly service, their great coffee. I spoke to my brothers about it, and they agreed.”
Scooter’s Coffee, based in Omaha, Nebraska, specializes in espresso drinks, fruit smoothies, and baked-from-scratch pastries and features its signature beverage, the Caramelicious®. The company also offers a wide selection for all taste profiles with its organic hot and iced teas, premium-grade brewed coffee, cold brew, breakfast items, and a kids’ menu.
According to the latest market trends compiled by the National Coffee Association, 63% of Americans drank coffee in the past day — more than any other beverage, including water. Those coffee drinkers each consume an average of 2.8 cups every day. Zippia Research reports that 60% of American coffee drinkers visit a coffee shop at least once a month.
Scooter’s Coffee’s proven 664 sq. ft. drive-thru-only kiosk model, combined with their fast, friendly service, allows customers to “scoot in” on their way to work or school to buy their favorite beverage and get their day off to a great start.
Saif said the plan is to have four locations open by the end of 2024 and 15 by the end of 2026. “People ask me if I’m a coffee guy, and I tell them I’m a money guy,” said Saif. “If you follow the model that’s been tried and tested by Scooter’s Coffee, there’s a great chance you’ll succeed at this.”
“At Scooter’s Coffee, we believe in empowering entrepreneurs like Saifullah ‘Saif’ Beg and his family to achieve their dreams,” remarks Matt Sawicki, Senior Director of Franchise Development. “Their ambition to open multiple locations by 2026 is a testament to the growth potential of our franchise system and the exceptional coffee experiences we provide.
