Franchisee opens first Scooter’s Coffee in her Hometown
OMAHA, Neb. – (May 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 to Huntsville, Alabama.
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.
Franchisee Emily Harris grew up in Huntsville and is proud to announce that the first of her five Scooter’s Coffee franchises will open in Huntsville this July. Emily and her husband, Cole have another three franchises in Knoxville, Tennessee, the first of which opened in March. “I resigned from my corporate job to oversee the franchises,” said Emily. “I love working in the store, getting to know the guests. It’s such an upbeat atmosphere—the guests and the team members are all happy to be there.”
Founded in 1998 by Don and Linda Eckles in Bellevue, Nebraska, Scooter’s Coffee roasts only the finest coffee beans in the world at its headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. In more than two decades of business, Scooter’s Coffee’s success is simple: stay committed to the original business principles and company core values. The Scooter’s Coffee Brand Promise, often recited to franchisees, customers and employees is: “Amazing People, Amazing Drinks… Amazingly Fast! ®” It represents the company’s business origins from 1998 and reflects a steady commitment to providing an unforgettable experience to loyal and new customers.
“Scooter’s Coffee is a great fit for us,” said Emily. It’s one of the fastest growing franchises out there and their core values of Integrity, Love, Humility, and Courage mean a lot to us. Plus, I absolutely love coffee!”
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.
“Huntsville, Alabama shows great promise for Scooter’s Coffee,” says Kelly Crummer, Scooter’s Coffee Senior Director of Franchise Recruitment. “We know there are many entrepreneurs like Emily and Cole Harris who are looking for the right opportunity to run a successful business. With the Scooter’s Coffee model, driven, business-minded people can achieve their goals.”
