THE OPPORTUNITY
What’s the best thing about selling coffee? Everyone drinks it. Coffee is the third most consumed beverage, behind water and tea, and the second most traded commodity. According to the National Coffee Association, the global coffee market is valued at over $100 billion a year and shows no signs of slowing down. Plus, a drive-thru coffee franchise with REALLY GOOD COFFEE? Yes, please.
Why Jittery Joe’s Coffee?
