Types of Franchise

Type A
Model Type A is our most common store type. It is incorporated within an existing building. The average square footage is 1300 SF. This allows for a full kitchen which serves hot food and the various beverages. This store type is also equipped with a handicap accessible bathroom and storage area.
Type B
Model Type B is a stand alone building that averages 3500 square feet. The property also includes a parking lot for it’s customers. This store type is equipped with more bathrooms than the original to accommodate for a larger number of customers. It has the option of also including a drive-through for customers on-the-go.
Type C
Model Type C is ideal for placement within malls, airports, train stations, and places of the sort. It is a compressed version but still serves the same amazing food and beverages. The size of this store can be averaged at around 400 square feet.
Type D
Model Type D is very similar to model type C. The difference between the 2 is that model type D can be placed in the center of a mall rather than being an enclosed location. It still serves the same amazing food and beverages but also allows room for customers to sit on the perimeter of the booth. With this model type, customers can get the full 360 degree view and experience of Cocoa Grinder.

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.
The total investment necessary to begin operation of one Ziggi's Coffee Shop Café with Drive Thru franchise ranged from $216,700 to $734,200.
The total investment necessary to begin operation of one Ziggi's Coffee Shop Café franchise ranged from $188,000 to $514,200. These include between $52,500 and $53,200 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliates. The franchisor may offer to qualified candidates the right to acquire a 3-Pak to open three Ziggi's Coffee Shops. The total investment noted above will apply to each type of Ziggi's Coffee Shop, but the franchisee will pay an additional $50,000 at the time of the signing of the Franchise Agreements, which amount is paid to the franchisor.
