Ellianos Coffee reaches 100 locations 

The drive-thru coffee franchise brand has reached a significant milestone

Ellianos Coffee, the drive-thru coffee brand, has announced the 100th store milestone last month when it welcomed its newest franchisee to the franchise network. The brand has experienced strong growth over the past year, and is expanding the franchise network while maintaining the family-feel of Ellianos Coffee. 

As of July 1, the coffee brand had 23 stores open, and a further 60 in development.  

“We are very excited about the growth and brand momentum at Ellianos; however, every single store in our franchise that is signed or opened, we keep the focus back on the local community with that local owner-operator mindset,” said Chad Stewart, vice president of franchise development at Ellianos Coffee. 

“Giving back locally is at the core of who we are.” 

Over its 20-year history, the brand has developed a strong franchisee support system, that many new franchisees have cited as a reason for their signing on with the brand. In May, Ellianos Coffee secured $25m in funding from the First Federal Bank for franchisees, and to streamline the lending and development process. 

“It’s our goal to take the headache out of owning a business so that our franchisees can focus on operating their stores the best way they can and accomplish their business goals,” said Scott Stewart, president and founder of Ellianos Coffee.   

“We’re building strategically. We’ve got a lot of moving parts, but they all work together to get stores up and running as quickly and efficiently as possible.” 

The growing coffee brand has its eyes set on the Southeast of the U.S., but Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina in particular.
