    About Ziggi's Coffee

    "Logo"

    What started as a small coffee shop on the corner of Main Street in downtown Longmont, Colorado in 2004, has since grown to multiple drive-thru and coffeehouse locations across the U.S. From the beginning, Ziggi’s mission has always been simple: Not only provide a superior cup of coffee, but also superior service customers can rely on.
    Because we started small, we know the value of building meaningful connections with the local communities we are a part of.
    With every latte, cappuccino or sandwich, our growth will always help those around us.
    Ziggi's Coffee has developed a franchise program focused on the success of our franchisees. With the same attention to detail that has gone into creating the perfect cup of coffee, the Ziggi's Franchise opportunity was created after over a decade of running successful coffee shops and drive-thrus. Now, with a proven model, Ziggi's has developed a process and system for you to duplicate that success by joining our amazing family. We've built a strong local business presence that focuses on community, product, and profitability.
    Ziggi’s Coffee offers a coffeehouse model, a coffeehouse with a drive-thru and a double-sided drive-thru. All models have unique qualities; currently, Ziggi’s Coffee is mostly focused on the development of its double-sided drive-thru model. This model serves only drive-thru customers from a freestanding building in a smaller size of approximately 250 to 500 square feet with no customer seating.

    In 2019 the total investment necessary to begin operation of one Ziggi's Coffee Shop Drive Thru franchise ranged from $214,200 to $1,026,200.
