Hyper-focused on Collaboration and Core Values, Scooter’s Coffee® Unveils New Omaha Headquarters
Editors Note: Yet another definition of kiosk, this time the coffee kiosks of Scooter’s. Coffee kiosks have been around forever as coffee is the one item that everybody knows and uses. Scooters is a franchise model and approaching 600 stores in 28 states. Drive Thru Restaurants are very deeply embedded in the automobile-drive American culture and the market numbers substantiate that statement. The U.S. coffee market is an estimated $48 billion-a-year, recession-resistant industry, and Scooter’s Coffee is striving to become the #1 drive-thru specialty coffee franchise system in the nation. We’re guessing Nebraskans drink a lot of coffee…

During the pandemic, Scooter’s Coffee’s speed-focused, drive-thru kiosk franchise model resonated with new and loyal customers, resulting in unprecedented growth of the brand. This growth resulted in the need to provide additional support for franchisees across the country. The new headquarters will house several core departments, including operations, marketing, human resources, finance, IT and legal. There will be flexibility and technology for both in-person and remote employees to come together in large groups and spark ideas in a cross-functional work setting.
The new space, outfitted with Scooter’s Coffee colors and vivid imagery, also supports training and onboarding for franchisees, allowing for immediate immersion to the brand positioning, There’s Just Something About Scooter’s Coffee.™ “From the moment you step into our new headquarters, you are greeted by images of our Core Values and rich history, store locations and smiling baristas, in addition to ripe coffee cherries and the farmers who harvest them.
