Scooter’s Coffee’s compact coffee kiosk model is a drive-thru only location that serves all of our amazing specialty coffee and food items. The smaller storefront allows for reduced startup, payroll, and ongoing maintenance costs – making it a great investment for a first-time or seasoned entrepreneur.

What sets us apart from the brewing coffee industry is our commitment to speed. True to our brand promise: “Amazing Drinks, Amazing People…Amazingly Fast!” the smaller footprint allows our customers to "scoot" through the line quickly.

As an interested franchisee, you know the numbers matter. Scooter’s Coffee had a notable 2023. See below for some highlights snipped right out of our Item 19. To see all of our financial representations, please refer to our FDD.

Our brand is taking the coffee industry by storm. In 2022, we came in at No. 66 in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500 and ranked No. 55 on their Fastest-Growing Franchises list. Entrepreneur also named Scooter’s Coffee as one of the seven best coffee shop franchises to buy in 2022. Our franchise was also recognized by the Inc. 5000, where we ranked No. 2807.

664 square feet. That’s it. May seem small, but it’s crucial to our commitment to providing fast, friendly service. At Scooter’s Coffee, we specialize in serving customers smiles… and our franchisees’ bottom line at the same time.

Scooter’s Coffee has over 800 locations across the country, with many more in development, and we’re opening up new territories regularly. Some of those markets are as small as 3,900 people! We’re confident that with our proven business model, exceptional product, and top-notch teams, Scooter’s Coffee could be a resounding success in your small town.

We have territories available in all but a few states! All of the states in red on the map below are available for investment. If you don’t see your state in red, don’t sweat it. We plan to have our drive-thru coffee kiosks all over the country and could be making our way to your area soon.

Since our kiosk model is compact, it can fit where a larger, traditional coffeehouse couldn’t – making Scooter’s Coffee a prime investment for those in smaller markets. When we consider a new territory, we look at a few different criteria:

• Growth potential of the market
• Daytime population and potential foot traffic
• Size of the captive audience – does the area have hospitals, large employers, or manufacturers in the vicinity? 

We’ve identified a number of small towns across the country that show to be a good fit for our brand – there’s bound to be at least one within two hours of you! 

Demand is rising in the coffee industry. The U.S. coffee market is worth $85.16B and is projected to continue growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.34% through 2025*.

Trends show that consumers want easy access to specialty coffee and high-quality service. With our drive-thru kiosk business model, we’re able to serve high-quality, high-margin coffee drinks, making everyone – customers and franchisees – happy.
