Gloria Jeans Coffees Coffee Franchise

Not on Every Corner (and Proud of It): Gloria Jean's Coffees Coffee Franchise.

Since opening its first store near Chicago in 1979, Gloria Jean's Coffees has dedicated itself to a single purpose: delivering a memorable coffee drinking experience to coffee lovers. Its success in this is achieved through three key ingredients.

First, Gloria Jean’s offers real choice in its coffee selections. Ever walk into a coffee shop and feel the need to apologize for wanting blueberry-flavored coffee? Gloria Jean’s embraces variety in all things coffee. Gloria Jean’s Coffee satisfies both coffee “purists” (often self-described coffee “snobs”), who prefer premium origin-based coffee, as well as “flavor adventurers,” who seek to replicate their favorite dessert, liqueur, berry or nut in their cup of coffee. Gloria Jean’s doesn’t choose sides, but instead offers the highest-quality coffee for every taste.

Second, Gloria Jean’s Coffee believes an in-store experience distinguished by superior customer service in a warm and welcoming environment is key to a memorable coffee drinking experience. This is the exponentially important role that Gloria Jean’s Coffees franchisees play. The company’s proven franchising business model has been tested over time. Gloria Jean's began offering U.S. franchising opportunities in the mid 1980s; today, Gloria Jean's has more than 105 locations in 24 states. In the 1990s, Gloria Jean's Coffees began expanding its footprint overseas with international franchising opportunities.

The third way that Gloria Jean’s delivers to coffee lovers a memorable coffee drinking experience, and to its franchise owners a sound business plan, is through smart growth. Gloria Jean’s Coffees will never be on every street corner . . . something we’re proud of. Whether its coffee, donuts, or chicken dinners, overexpansion (and overexposure) can result in burnout. Gloria Jean’s Coffees welcomes growth, but not unchecked growth.

We seek potential franchisee owners who love coffee as much as we do, in all its wonderful variety. An opportunity awaits at a Gloria Jean’s Coffees coffee franchise for those who do.
