## Story

Phoenix, AZ – The Human Bean opened a new location in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday, 4/25. The Human Bean of Phoenix is owned and operated by Todd and Karen Holton and family.. This will be their second franchised Human Bean location, with their first being located in Tempe and opening in 2017.

The new Human Bean of Phoenix is located at 4377 East Baseline Rd. Phoenix, AZ 85042. Their hours will 6am to 7pm Monday-Friday and 7am-7pm Saturday & Sunday. Their phone number is 602-296-7748. You can follow them on Instagram at @humanbeanphx

The Human Bean’s commitment to developing the best drive-thru espresso led us to franchising the brand and system in 2002. The Human Bean has 95+ locations in eleven states with the majority of those being franchised locations and 13 being corporate locations. We expect to continue this growth through approved franchisees that share the same determination and commitment to our goals for this exceptional brand and have plans to open several more locations nationwide by the end of the year.

Unlike nearly all other franchises, we **do not** charge percentage-of-sales royalty fees. We earn revenues from bulk sales of coffee and other supplies ordered from our franchised locations.

At The Human Bean, we work as a team with our franchisees; our franchisees don’t work for us by paying high royalties that take away from their bottom line.

Our goal is for Human Bean franchisees to enjoy the returns from their investment while receiving the benefits of being part of our franchise.
