## Story

The franchise will be built at 12400 Yellow Bluff Road in the New Berlin neighborhood in the northeastern part of the city.

Co-owners Jennifer Redcloud and Dorie Robinson, doing business as RedRobin Enterprises LLC, signed a single-unit franchise agreement with Scooter’s Coffee in March. Robinson says they couldn’t be happier with how smoothly the process has gone. “Our Scooter’s Coffee pre-development Manager is working with the city’s civil engineers and architects to handle all the necessary permits.” If all goes well, the franchise will open in May 2023.

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 percent 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!®” is helping Americans meet that demand.

Residents of Jacksonville, Redcloud and Robinson are excited to bring Scooter’s Coffee to their community. “I’m a people person—I love helping others,” said Redcloud, who also works as a nurse. “I can’t wait to meet our customers and introduce them to Scooter’s Coffee’s amazing coffee and fast, friendly service.”

“The Jacksonville area shows great promise for Scooter’s Coffee,” says Kelly Crummer, Scooter’s Coffee Senior Director of Franchise Recruitment. “We’re excited to have franchisees Jennifer Redcloud and Dorie Robinson on board to help spread our brand throughout the community where they live.”

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-a-year industry, and with a 664-foot proven kiosk model, Scooter’s Coffee is striving to become the #1 drive-thru coffee franchise in the nation.

Founded in 1998 by Don and Linda Eckles in Bellevue, Nebraska, Scooter’s Coffee roasts only the finest coffee beans in the world at its headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. In more than two decades of business, Scooter’s Coffee’s success is simple: stay committed to the original business principles and company core values. The Scooter’s Coffee Brand Promise, often recited to franchisees, customers and employees is: “Amazing People, Amazing Drinks… Amazingly Fast!

®” It represents the company’s business origins from 1998 and reflects a steady commitment to providing an unforgettable experience to loyal and new customers.
