OMAHA, Neb. – (August 3, 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 Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Jensen Beach, and Hobe Sound, Florida.
The expansion into southeastern Florida is the result of a five-unit franchise agreement signed by Eric Gioia. Gioia owns a restaurant in Washington DC but after a divorce, relocated to North Palm Beach in 2010. He “The east coast of Florida is booming, it’s one of the fastest-growing areas in the country, and Scooter’s Coffee is not here yet.” Gioia saw it as a great opportunity. “I saw my first Scooter’s Coffee in Chattanooga about three years ago. I was really impressed by the kiosk-only model, their fast, friendly service, and the company’s values.”
Scooter’s Coffee, based in Omaha, Nebraska, 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.

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.

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.
