OMAHA, Neb. – (September 2023) – 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 drive-thru coffee locations to North Carolina.
The expansion into the area northeast of Charlotte is the result of a two-unit franchise agreement signed by Binit Patel and Jaiminkumar “Jaimin” Patel. Friends for over a decade, the two men decided they wanted to do something on their own. They both had experience running businesses — Jaimin ran a liquor store, and Binit a convenience store. But those businesses take a lot of overhead. “We know that coffee is a huge market in the U.S., so we started looking at coffee franchises,” said Jaimin. “The Scooter’s Coffee kiosk model was the most efficient, and it could be started with a lower initial investment.”
Scooter’s Coffee, based in Omaha, specializes in artisan espresso drinks, fruit smoothies, baked-from-scratch pastries, and features its signature drink, the CarameliciousÒ. 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.
According to the latest market trends compiled by the National Coffee Association, 60% of Americans drank coffee in the past day. And 28% of people reported purchasing coffee at a coffee shop or restaurant in the past day — a number that’s almost back to pre-pandemic levels. The drive-thru coffee model, already popular in our fast-paced society, 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!®,” are helping Americans stay caffeinated and safe while providing high-quality products with a smile.
Jaimin and Binit plan to relocate from New Jersey to North Carolina to run the stores. “We have a plan to grow into multiple stores. We’ll see how we do in the next two years and will add more as we’re ready.”
“We’re very excited to have Jaimin Patel and Binit Patel join the Scooter’s family,” saysMatt Sawicki, Senior Director of Franchise Development. “With their drive andiprevious business experience, I know they will be an asset to our company.
