Bear Creek Coffee: Expansion Plans Rapidly Accelerating

Written on March 31st, 2008 by Joseph in Franchising Developments.

In just eight short years, Bear Creek Coffee has opened 50 units. But consider that 22 of those were opened in 2007 and you’ll see that the expansion of this outstanding coffee business is on an upward trajectory. Bear Creek Coffee has opened three in the first few months of 2008 and plans are to exceed 36 new ventures in the next 12 months.
Bear Creek Coffee offers the ultimate in business opportunities. It’s part of the growing coffee industry, serving a product that 16 percent of American adults partake of daily. Because Bear Creek isn’t a franchise, those taking advantage of its business offerings get the benefits of association with a known name without paying franchise fees or royalties. Its kiosk/cart program offers a business opportunity for less than $60,000 in start up costs and its area developer program offers maximum opportunity for financial growth.
And then there are the beans. By focusing on roasting rather than selling franchises, Bear Creek Coffee offers the highest quality beans, roasted in small batches and delivered to its outlets in time to be served within 10-14 days of roasting—the peak of freshness.
It’s no wonder that since its beginning, Bear Creek Coffee has ended up in some unique places. Two new double drive-thrus—in Richmond, Indiana and San Marcos, Texas, pack a lot of business opportunity in a small location. An existing coffee drive-thru in Traverse City, Michigan, recently converted to Bear Creek. The Westmoreland Mall in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, had suffered without a coffee shop until a Bear Creek Coffee kiosk joined the food court. Coffee carts are springing up in sports facilities and hotels as well. Art studios are adding Bear Creek Cafes. And speaking of art, a new Bear Creek Coffee café in Chatsworth, Georgia, makes poetry readings a regular part of its evening lineup. It’s not far from another new Georgia café, in Clayton.

All of this is fueling the company’s rapid growth. But innovative and outstanding locations remain. To learn more about the excellent opportunities, contact Bear Creek Coffee.
