In 2024, we helped 15 entrepreneurs in 11 states open independent coffee shops. From small towns to bigger cities, these coffeehouses reflect the passion and creativity of their owners — and the power of our 7 Steps to Success program.
Our experienced coffee shop startup team guided each owner from planning to grand opening and beyond.
