Coffee Kiosk Franchise Opportunities

April 20, 2007 - PRLog -- Coffee is big business. It has fast become the nation's favourite drink, both in the UK and the US, beating even the humble cup of tea in Britain as the hot drink of choice for the masses.

And trendy locations in which to drink the brown, caffeinated beverage have been credited with much of this success, with upmarket coffee houses and sleek cafes taking the place of bars and pubs as the place to be seen.

But, once addicted, the coffee-slurping hordes need somewhere to quickly pick up their fix – be it on the way to work, walking around a shopping mall, in a park, or even on their way home from work. And this is where coffee kiosks find a niche market in which to thrive.

The average American drinks 3.1 cups of coffee per day according to the National Coffee Association, which claims that American coffee drinkers also spend an average $164.71 each per year on coffee – with much of this spent in cafes and coffee houses rather than on homemade coffee.

Of course, Starbucks is the name that springs to mind whenever coffee houses are mentioned, although the firm taking cosy coffee drinking global bases most of its trade on larger coffee houses and large mugs.

People looking for a quick coffee in the morning are therefore more likely to head to a small kiosk on their way to work, with the idea of the drive-through coffee kiosk a huge hit in the US.

Unwilling to get out of their cars in the manic rush to drop the kids off at school, get into work on time or get home with a car-load of shopping, drive-through coffee kiosks are the ideal way to grab a quick drink in and sip a cup of coffee in comfort.

Kiosks without in-house seating are a huge benefit to consumers, but also provide a massive opportunity for the entrepreneur. Anyone looking to get involved in the booming coffee industry would do well to consider the kiosk sector, as there is much more room to find a decent location, lower overheads, lower staff numbers and yet still attract a high number of customers.

Catering to coffee cravers' need for speed, kiosks can be set up in locations normally uninhabitable by larger coffee houses. Potential franchisees are encouraged to seek out the best location for them to make the most of their franchising opportunity, research the market thoroughly, and get sound financial advice before making any long-term commitments.
