In a vibrant market, differentiation is the key to success. At Scooter's we have developed a singular "premium" identity that sets our coffeehouses apart from the competitors and allows us to occupy a unique position in the industry. Scooter's dedication to the premium experience has created a difference that customers appreciate. Our coffee tastes different because it is different.
The premium experience begins with our coffee, but it doesn't end there. Our corporate philosophy dictates that everything the customers taste, see, hear and feel should reinforce the premium philosophy.
* Our coffee is served exclusively in Insulair's new triple-wall insulated cup, a unique solution recognized as one of the top innovations of 2005 by Inc. Magazine. Triple-wall cups are a quality alternative to polystyrene foam and non-insulated cups with paper sleeves.
* Our specialty drinks are created with Monin syrups, widely recognized as the world's premier flavoring. Unlike many popular flavorings, Monin syrups are made from natural fruits, nuts and spices, and contain no fat or cholesterol.
* Our mocha drinks are blended with Monin premium chocolate syrups, a rich and superior alternative to powdered flavorings.
* Our store locations are aesthetically designed to emphasize the premium experience. Equipment, art, furniture and accessories are carefully designed to reinforce the message that our customers receive the best.
This unique identity has turned Scooter's into the largest locally-owned coffee franchise in the Midwest.
