Local Man Signs Multi-Unit Agreement with National Coffee Brand
OMAHA, Neb. – (December 2021) – 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 Peoria, Arizona.
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 the northwest suburbs of Phoenix is the result of two-unit franchise agreement signed by Bill Minturn. Minturn started looking into franchising when he realized the long hours of his demanding job in corporate sales meant missing out on time with his five-year-old son. “Since I’m from Omaha, I’m very familiar with Scooter’s Coffee and thought it would be a great opportunity,” said Bill. “I like that they are family owned and that they have developed a proven business model.”
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.
As a Scooter’s Coffee franchisee, Minturn says he will be able to find a better work/life balance for himself, while building a legacy for four children. “Plus, I love coffee. The smell of fresh-brewed coffee wakes you up and gets you going. It gets you excited for the day.”
“The suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona are a great market for our brand,” said Kelly Crummer, Scooter’s Coffee Senior Director of Franchise Recruitment. “This addition will allow us to increase our brand’s presence and bring awareness to our great products and service.”
