Franchise Information
Franchising offers a tremendous opportunity to be your own boss without the risks associated with starting a business from scratch. Franchised businesses account for nearly 10 percent of the private-sector economic output and no other business segment has more franchise success stories in the United States than restaurants.
In fact, most of the money that is spent on dining out is spent at franchised restaurants. Diners appreciate the quality and consistency that comes with a franchise, and business owners appreciate having a system to follow.
The Opportunity
Boston Coffeehouse® has the perfect combination of coffeeshop, gourmet menu and community involvement to win the lion’s share of the casual dining/coffeehouse market. The breakfast menu includes a variety of favorites from specialty waffles and pancakes to unique breakfast sandwiches like the French Toast Panini.
An impressive lunch menu features gourmet sandwiches like the Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken, scrumptious soups including our signature Chicken Velvet, and delicious salads like the Mango Salsa Salad. Add to this a decadent, exquisite dessert menu and, whatever your tastes, Boston Coffeehouse® will impress and satisfy your appetite.
The offerings are not an empty promise. Breakfast is served all day, using only fresh eggs, gourmet sandwiches are made using artisan breads and the finest quality meats, and salads feature fresh vegetables. And the desserts are specially crafted. It’s no wonder Boston Coffeehouse® has received numerous awards and mentions for their coffees and lunches!
The Market
Americans love to eat out! Almost half of the average American’s food expenditures are spent dining out, and this number is growing. The numbers are staggering. Presently, nearly one in five persons (18%) visit quick-serve restaurants ten or more times per month, making for a very attractive opportunity.
The restaurant industry in the U.S. is projected to top $558 billion dollars in food and drink sales in 2009, an average of over $1.5 billion a day. The fast-food and quick-service restaurant segment accounts for more than a third of the total, more than $180 billion.
In addition, people love coffee; Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee per day, or equivalent to 146,000,000,000 (146 Billion) cups of coffee per year; making the United States the LEADING CONSUMER of coffee in the world. And, coffee shops make up the FASTEST GROWING part of the restaurant business, checking in with a 7% annual growth rate!

How Do I Know If This Is A Good Business For My Area?Coffee has become a regular part of most people’s lifestyle. With great coffee and convenient locations, Boston Coffeehouse® is able to capture the affection of coffee drinkers by providing a relaxing neighborhood environment. But Boston Coffeehouse® is much more than coffee and offers a full line of gourmet sandwiches, delicious deserts and hot and cold beverages. Boston Coffeehouse®® operates in a small category of restaurants that combine great coffee with fresh bakery products and sandwiches providing a great local environment for a cup of coffee or a full meal. The result is a loyalty. If your neighborhood does not have a restaurant that fills this niche between national coffee chains and full service bakery restaurants then it could be a good market for a Boston Coffeehouse®. If you find yourself stuck in the routine of going to the same places to get coffee all the time, then you are not alone. There are likely countless others looking for something different, but not exotic or expensive. Boston Coffeehouse® serves people just like you. Your restaurant will draw from residential as well as business clients and primarily serves the living and working community within two miles of the restaurant. So that you can create a neighborhood atmosphere you should have at least 30,000 people within two mile radius of your location.

Do You Offer Financing?Boston Coffeehouse® does not offer any direct financing but can recommend some third party financing options for you.
