The Specialty Coffee Association of America's
"Market Report" forecasts that the number of
coffeehouses in the U.S. will grow to 15,000 by
the year 2006. Will one of those coffeehouses be
yours? You can take a couple different paths can
to starting your own coffee shop themed business.
One option is to buy the equipment and supplies
yourself, building your own identity and business
systems. The other option is to purchase a
franchise and benefit from their proven image,
proven systems, and established supply chains.
Let's look at some examples of coffee related
businesses that you could start for yourself.

For a more turn-key type of operation, The Coffee
Beanery, a global franchise based in Michigan,
provides franchisees with a wide menu of coffee
based drinks as well as an attractive breakfast
and lunch menus. The franchisee benefits from a
proven image, a proven menu, a fully developed
method of operation, and an established supply
chain. It might cost more to purchase a
franchise, but if you are new to business, the
long term benefits might outweigh the short term
higher start-up costs. Coffee News USA is a third
type of coffee related business opportunity.
Unlike the previous two examples, Coffee News USA
does not involve making and selling coffee
beverages. Instead, Coffee News is publishing
opportunity in which the franchisee provides a
free local edition of the weekly Coffee News
newspaper to restaurants and coffee shops. The
franchisor provides most of the content, and the
franchisee sells advertisements to generate
income.

These three business opportunities a just a few
of the coffee related businesses that are
available for coffee lovers. Most of the other
opportunities are franchises, but not all
franchises are created equal. Examining each
business opportunity carefully can bring to light
some important differences that might lead you to
an opportunity that is better suited to you than
another.
