TL;DR
Ziggi's Coffee has signed a franchise agreement with the Stevensons, a couple from Oklahoma who plan to open multiple units in the state. The Stevensons were drawn to Ziggi's Coffee due to its strong support system and shared values.
The Stevensons have both worked in Information Technology for the past 20 years. Their corporate careers have provided a strong foundation from which to explore the endless possibilities that come with business ownership.
“We’ve always known we wanted to do something like this,” said Scott. “With Ziggi’s Coffee, we are able to build something that is ours and something that we can grow into a multi-unit business. It’s exciting to think about the possibilities and how far we can take this thing.”
When they began this process, it wasn’t just about business ownership, it was about finding a company with a strong support system that shared their same values. During their investigation, they realized Ziggi’s Coffee checked all their boxes.
“The level of support the company has provided has exceeded all of our expectations,” said Karissa. “It was really refreshing to learn that they truly care about their people and that they wanted to get to know us and our family. We feel like they chose us, as much as we chose them.”
A few of the big differentiators between Ziggi’s Coffee and other companies the couple had looked at came down to a focus on details, a dedicated kid’s menu, and the opportunity to engage with their community. Scott says he is eager to build strong customer relationships and to give back to the community through different causes.
“We now have an opportunity as business owners to contribute to our community and to create a place where families can come together,” said Scott. “Through the systems and processes that have been laid out for us, it allows us to focus on providing a great customer experience and to run an efficient business that serves a superior cup of coffee.”
With every detail accounted for, the Stevensons are on the path to fulfilling their entrepreneurial goals.
“Ziggi’s has set their franchisees up for success. It’s just a matter of how far we want to take it,” said Karissa.
The Stevensons are currently working with the team at Ziggi’s Coffee to identify prime real-estate options in the Oklahoma City metro area.
