About Just Love Coffee Cafe Franchise

Just Love’s Humble Beginning

At Just Love Coffee Cafe, we pride ourselves on creating fun, friendly spaces where our customers can relax and unwind however they choose — whether that’s reading a good book, writing their latest blog on their laptop, or catching up with family and friends. Just Love customers know that they’re not going to be rushed in and out, and so they stay longer — and spend more.

Just Love Coffee Cafe was founded as an online coffee service to offer financial assistance to couples going through the adoption process, which can be extremely expensive. This charitable branch of the company continues to this day, having raised hundreds of thousands of dollars towards giving children a good home and helping couples fill their homes with love.

We don’t tell our franchise owners what charities or causes they should support, but the right franchise owners are going to be community-minded. When you support the community, the community supports you. In Nashville, each one of our locations opens their doors to different causes, activities and events. It helps connect our brand to more people, winning new customers in the process.

Coffee Shops are Big Business

Americans are drinking more coffee than ever before and spending more time at coffee shops than ever before.

Coffee shops represent the fastest growing segment in the food service industry and coffee is one of the most popular beverages both in U.S. and abroad.

• Americans drink about 400 million cups of coffee every day
• 48% of millennials consume gourmet coffee
• Over 30 million Americans drink specialty coffee daily
• Global coffee consumption is expected to grow 33% by 2030

With a small footprint, low overhead and limited staff (5-6 at launch), Just Love Coffee Cafe is simple to operate, easy to scale and has a business model that is unique in the $84 billion U.S. coffee shop industry.

Just Love’s Competitive Advantage

In addition to offering a wide variety of hand roasted coffee blends and specialty beverages, many of which have been developed in-house, franchise owners get to take advantage of a full all-day menu.

This provides an additional revenue stream that is unique in the specialty coffee shop segment and can potentially increase the return on investment.

Plus, cooking on a waffle iron means that there is no need for a full kitchen and a full kitchen staff. This reduces overhead and the need for a large footprint, which can potentially increase profitability.
