Beans & Brews Coffeehouse Celebrates Thirty Years

Beans was born in Utah in 1993, in a less sophisticated coffee landscape than exists today, when all that mattered was a great cup of brewed coffee and high-quality bagged coffee beans. When Kevin and Jeff Laramie, along with their parents, started the business, they wanted to offer a place for customers to come get their “beans and brews.” Creating a community hub where people could grab a cup of coffee, a muffin, and a little conversation.

A place where it was a priority to know customers’ names and orders. Customer service, community mindedness, a health-conscious menu, and ever-expanding coffee and beverage options, including their new line of energy drinks, are still at the foundation of makes Beans so well-loved.

Beans & Brews franchise conference included a celebration of all things Beans. The agenda included break out rooms and guest speaker, Sean Falk, President and COO of Careertopia Franchise Executive Search. Mr.

Falk, an experienced franchisor and franchise owner, and member of the International Franchise Association (IFA), spoke about planning, incrementalism, and execution, as well as the legislative issues facing franchising and the potential impact on Beans franchisees. The four breakout sessions covered topics such as franchise owner support, operations, brand management, and business challenges – all of which were led by Beans team leaders Toni Fries-Allen, Director of Franchise Operations, and Sarah Anderson, VP of Operations.

Beans & Brews is proud to celebrate the last thirty years and all the franchise owners and people who have made the brand what it is today.
