Scooter’s Coffee Continues Growing in Iowa

Hanna and Mark Leiting will own the new Southwest Iowa location. “We have family members who are Scooter’s Coffee franchisees, so we are familiar with the brand’s stellar reputation,” said Hanna. “We are excited to join a franchise that shares our core values and look forward to serving the community.”

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.

According to the latest market trends compiled by the National Coffee Association, 60% 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!®,” are helping Americans meet that demand.

Currently, the couple lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, but is relocating to Harlan where their franchise will be located. Hanna grew up in Harlan, and her parents and grandmother still live there.

“We’re actually moving into my grandfather’s old house,” said Hanna. “This opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time. We have two girls, ages 7 and 3, and it’s important for me that they get to grow up near family.”

Scooter’s Coffee is equally excited about the opportunity to welcome the Leitings to the franchise family.

“We’re thrilled to see Mark and Hanna Leiting join Scooter’s Coffee,” said Kelly Crummer, Senior Director of Franchise Recruitment for Scooter’s Coffee. “They share our core values of integrity, love, humility, and courage. They’ll be a great addition to our franchise system.”

Approaching 600 stores operating across 28 states and commitments to open stores in 30 states, Scooter’s Coffee is in the midst of a strategic growth phase across the nation. The U.S. coffee market is an estimated $48 billion industry, and with a 664-foot proven kiosk model, Scooter’s Coffee is striving to become the No. 1 drive-thru coffee franchise in the nation.
