Together these two factors team up for plenty of potential for entrepreneurs at every level. Whether you’re looking for a single venture that you can run yourself with little start-up costs, or you have the background and capital to help others succeed, Bear Creek offers a variety of plans. Moreover, with no franchise or royalty fees, the earning potential is huge from a single cup of coffee.

Cart & Kiosks
This is the most economical way of starting a franchise under Bear Creek Coffee. As a franchisee, you will have the option of choosing either a 6-foot cart or a custom-designed kiosk (http://www.prlog.org/10059000-bear-creek-coffee-offers-great-low-cost-business-opportunity.html). The whole package comes in a very moderate price of $55,500 along with excellent financing packages. With a good credit-score, you can buy a cart set-up with an amount as low as $15,000 out-of-pocket expense. The carts are fully-functional; all you need is a power-source and you are ready to serve the piping-hot gourmet coffees for which the company is famous. According to the Specialty Coffee Association, a coffee cart averages $140,000 in annual sales. The ideal locations are offices, malls and airports and the associates of Bear Creek Coffee will offer you site selection and other assistance.

Double Drive-Thru
Of course, many of us like to swing by a drive-through and grab a cup of coffee on the way to work or to that next thing on our schedule. This is where Bear Creek’s Double Drive-Thru comes in. Given that 16 percent of American adults consume at least one cup of coffee every day, the potential market is huge.  Site selection for a double drive-thru is strict; Bear Creek recommends a location where about 15,000 cars per day pass. The location requires at least four cars in the entrance/exit area. And high visibility is critical. Bear Creek also offers assistance with site selection, construction and equipment fittings. The company also trains its partners in running businesses with a low overhead.

Café
The best part of teaming with Bear Creek Coffee is that there won’t be any restrictive clause in a franchise agreement. So, if you go for the in-line café format, you can either take the company-customized and -designed look for your establishment or modify it according to your own specifications. But certain things have to be kept in mind. Of course, you’ll need to make sure that meet all health code requirements and training. And the décor will need to aesthetically and visually pleasing. Then, your café is only limited by your imagination. But if you need assistance or advice, Bear Creek will be there every step of the way.

Area developers
Bear Creek also offers an Area Development plan (http://www.prlog.org/10062215-bear-creek-coffee-seeking-a...) where entrepreneurs can open their own shops at a reduced rate and help spread the Bear Creek name throughout a designated territory. They can sign up other licensees and help them get started with their own businesses. While this generally requires significant capital to sign an area development deal, the potential return is much higher as well. Beyond that, you’ll get to help spread the quality Bear Creek coffee throughout your territory and help others achieve success.
