Tennessee Man Signs Multi-Unit Agreement with National Coffee Brand
OMAHA, Neb. – (February 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 locations to Clarksville, TN
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 Northern Tennessee is the result of six-unit franchise agreement signed by Nathan Ownby of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Ownby was drawn to Scooter’s Coffee because of its drive-thru only model. “During COVID lockdown, the only place you could go to get a meal was the Sonic Drive-In. I thought it made a lot of sense to run a coffee shop that way.” After doing some research on the Scooter’s Coffee drive-thru kiosk model, Ownby drove to Chattanooga to visit the closest location. “Then I came back and signed the franchise agreement.”
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.
“Scooter’s Coffee has a great network of support, people who are willing to help out to see you succeed,” said Ownby. “I can see myself opening additional locations in the future.”
“Clarksville, Tennessee shows great promise for Scooter’s Coffee,” says Kelly Crummer, Scooter’s Coffee Senior Director of Franchise Recruitment. “We know there are many entrepreneurs 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.”
