What it Takes to Open an Espresso Franchise

First and foremost, you’ll need the capital to get started. Opening a franchise can require a sizable investment, but it’s important to remember that you’re investing in a proven business model. With Scooter’s Coffee®, you can expect to pay a franchise fee, as well as ongoing royalties and marketing fees, in addition to other costs associated with starting and running your business with the backing of an established and successful brand. 

Once you have the financials in order, it’s time to consider the location. A successful coffee franchise may rely on both foot traffic and drive-thru or parking lot availability, so you’ll want to scout out a high-visibility spot that that can draw in customers on their way to or from work or whenever they feel like a caffeinated pick-me-up. It’s also important to research the local competition and make sure there’s a demand for a new coffee shop in the area. 

Finally, you’ll need to find the right team to run the franchise. This includes a manager who will oversee operations and a staff that is passionate about coffee and dedicated to providing excellent customer service. 

Where are Espresso Franchises Successful?

Espresso franchises can be successful in a variety of locations, from bustling cities to small towns. What’s most important is that there’s a demand for coffee in the area and that the franchise is located in a visible, high-traffic area. 

Coffee is a universal language, and the demand for a good cup of joe is only increasing. In fact, according to a recent report, the coffee industry is projected to reach $102.4 billion by 2023. This means that there’s never been a better time to get involved in the coffee business.
