Aroma Joe’s, a leading handcrafted beverage chain, continued its steady growth throughout 2019.
Snapshot of Aroma Joe’s 2019 accomplishments:

“Our 2019 goal was to continue to build interest in our farm-to-sip quality coffee and handcrafted specialty beverages throughout the New England area,” says Aroma Joe’s CEO Loren Goodridge. “We saw steady growth throughout our new location areas, as well as increased brand awareness and strong interest in franchise opportunities.”
Looking ahead to 2020, Aroma Joe’s hopes to grow its operations by 20 percent and is looking to expand into several new markets, including Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Aroma Joe’s is also looking to bolster its presence in various markets throughout Florida and Pennsylvania.
Aroma Joe’s was founded nearly 20 years ago on the basis of being more than just a coffee company. It is a franchise built on the idea that how the coffee is served is just as important as the taste. The chain’s proprietary coffee blends are craft-roasted in Maine and are Rainforest Alliance Certified, which means they are sustainably grown and ethically sourced. The menu includes handcrafted espresso-based drinks such as various lattes and mochas which can be customized with limitless flavor combinations.
Coffee not your thing? Aroma Joe’s other offerings include their signature and customizable RUSH energy drink, Iced Teas and lemonades plus their unique food offerings.
The cost to open a 650-1,200 square-foot Aroma Joe’s franchise, including the franchise fee and overall investment cost, is between $256,500 and $702,000.
