Frequently Asked Questions about your Coffee Franchise

We hope to work with those who seek a coffee shop franchise opportunity as an owner-operator, and who are willing to invest time and effort into operation of the business. Also, if you love delicious coffee, and energy drinks, and love the idea of handcrafted beverages, then we may be the right fit for you!

The minimum initial investment necessary to begin an Aroma Joe’s drive-through coffee franchise is $283,500 for a single location. This includes a $25,000 franchise fee. If you are an active member of the United States military or honorably discharged veteran, we also offer a reduced franchise fee of $12,500. As with any new venture, it’s important to have adequate capital to fund the initial business growth stages.

We ask that our franchisees begin with a minimum of $150,000 in liquid capital, and that they are qualified to secure capital for the investment necessary to their goal.
