Scooter’s Coffee Reaches 150 Stores Nationwide Upcoming Grand Openings in Atlanta and Omaha Metro Areas to Celebrate

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / August 24, 2016 / On pace for consecutive record-breaking years of growth, Scooter’s Coffee is celebrating its 150-store milestone with its newest drive-thru locations in Marietta (2943 Canton Rd.) and in Omaha, NE at 72nd and Military (4040 N 72nd St.) and). The milestone came on the heels of a pivotal week, in which the company opened six stores across Iowa, Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma. The national coffee chain’s second Atlanta metro area location will host a grand opening celebration this week on Friday, August 26, with $1 medium drinks throughout the day and special giveaways throughout the day.

“Just a short amount of time ago, this company was averaging five to six store openings a year. Opening six in just one week is a phenomenal example of how our infrastructure has evolved to support a very rapid pace of growth,” stated Rob Streett, President and Chief Operating Officer of Scooter’s Coffee. “We not only amplified our presence in Nebraska, Iowa and Georgia, but also opened our first-ever locations in the Tulsa, Oklahoma market and in the San Antonio Metro area. Both markets have a tremendous amount of potential for our brand, and we’re already seeing impressive sales numbers to reflect this potential.”

Now open in 12 states, Scooter’s Coffee has signed agreements in three additional states throughout the country and will open 40 locations from coast to coast in 2016. Over the next few months, the company boasts a strong grand opening pipeline, which includes its first-ever location in the state of Arizona. In late July, the company opened its first of many locations in Florida.

The Marietta location is owned by Jon and Deanna Erwin, owners of the existing location in Roswell (550 W. Crossville Rd.), who plan to open several more stores in the Atlanta metro area over the next couple of years.

“We chose to franchise with Scooter’s Coffee because of two things: the amazing people and the impressive track record of the company,” stated Deanna. “It is rewarding to watch the brand grow and establish the same reputation in the Atlanta metro area.”

Despite an ambitious growth plan, the franchise has reinforced its mission to make a positive difference in customers’ lives with a new system-wide program called “Day of Giving.” Franchisees who want to impact their communities can select a local cause, schedule a festive day in which 100% of proceeds go to the organization and be reimbursed a percentage of net sales from the Franchise Support Center in Omaha.

“It is essential to remain true to our origins as we bring our brand to so many new markets,” stated Streett. “Our founders, Don and Linda Eckles, established us as the brand that cares: about our employees, customers, local communities and the people worldwide that provide us with our quality product. The Day of Giving initiative represents our promise to remain true to our brand’s core values.”

Scooter’s plan to open 26 more stores before the end of 2016. It has also recently added depth to its product profile, releasing a new line of Organic Hot and Iced Teas earlier this summer. Currently, Scooter’s is touting its new Cold Brew and Cream offering, which combines the company’s long-time favorite, slow-steeped cold brew with 100% real cream and several innovative flavor options. The company will soon add gluten-free products to its extensive menu of hand-crafted pastries.
