An entrepreneurial look into the highly successful coffee business in America
The future of the coffee industry in America is very promising.
You can easily dominate the specialty coffee business with a
popular coffeehouse franchise in your area. That is not an
overstatement, just note these striking facts for coffee
consumption in America: The typical consumption in the U.S. is 3
cups of coffee per day, with over half of the adult population
drinking coffee daily. This represents over a hundred million
Americans. Americans spend an average of $170 annually on coffee
and specialty coffee drinks. And with over 400 million cups of
coffee every day, the United States is the leading consumer of
coffee in the world. Read on and discover why owning a coffee
house franchise may be the most financially rewarding decision
in your life.
The overly addictive nature of coffee can secure the success of
your coffee shop small business. Scientists have turned up some
interesting facts on caffeine. Caffeine blocks the effects of a
neurotransmitter in the brain (adenosine) that otherwise makes
us feel tired. This is why it works so well to keep us awake. It
also boosts the release of dopamine (as well as adrenaline).
Dopamine contributes to a feeling of well being. In addition to
the caffeine in coffee, there are other ingredients that are
beneficial to our health; antioxidants including quinines,
chlorogenic, tocopherols and magnesium. All of these aid glucose
metabolism resulting in a reduced risk factor of certain health
problems.
So what do these facts mean to you as an entrepreneur? It is
apparent that you can be the owner of a highly successful coffee
house franchise by investing in the coffee industry.
With the popularity of franchising, having a successful
business isnt as difficult as it once was. A few decades ago,
before the idea of buying a franchise became very popular, the
only guarantee to a successful business was a successful
business plan. That may still the case today, however, if you
are looking for an independent operation as opposed to a
franchise. Because of franchising on the other hand, getting
started is much simpler for businesspeople wanting to start a
business for the first time but who dont posses the knowledge to
assemble a winning business plan. Franchising allows first-time
entrepreneurs to use a brand product or service, along with a
prepared business plan for a franchise fee.
If this is your first attempt to open a coffee shop franchise,
you need to collect information on the different varieties of
coffee house franchises for sale to find the one that best
matches your individual qualities and lifestyle. There are
several different types of coffee franchises all offering
various products. You will need to decide on the products you
want to sell before opening the doors to your business. And
there are other important decisions you will need to make-do you
want to purchase a drive-thru coffee franchise or a full service
coffee franchise? Do you want to sell only coffee or other
beverages and pastries as well? Do you want to run a full-time
or part-time operation? You wont find many industries that are
as flexible as the coffee business. You will find that you have
many options in terms of how you run your coffee business and
how much time you devote to it.
The most important factor influencing the success of your
operation will be the location of your business. Assuming that
your intentions are to purchase a coffee franchise, you can
expect to negotiate on an excellent location for your new
business. Some of the most popular locations for coffee houses
are downtown business districts, colleges and universities,
tourist areas, airports, and inside shopping malls.
Research is the key to knowledge and then success in life and in
business. Gather as much knowledge as possible on your future
coffee business. Use that knowledge to avoid difficult roads up
ahead. You will be able to breathe easier knowing that you are
equipped to manage whatever challenging situation comes your
way.
