FRANCHISING

If you'd like to start your own business, but simply do not have the experience or know-how to operate a successful operation, Lasaters Corporation may be able to help you open your own Lasaters Coffee & Tea Franchise.

Why a Lasaters Coffee & Tea franchise?  Of course there are a few good coffeehouse franchises to choose from.  The questions you may be asking are 'how are our prices compared to the competition?'  Or, 'what makes Lasaters unique?'  And 'what are Lasaters fees compared to other coffeehouse franchises?'  Click the "FAQ" link above to read more frequently asked questions that most people ask. 

Here are a few things that make Lasaters Coffee & Tea stand out from other franchise offerings...

Lasaters Coffee & Tea features only the highest-quality items in our stores.  We offer custom-roasted coffees, a large selection of hot and iced teas, iced and blended coffee or espresso-based drinks, bagels, muffins, danishes, sandwiches and other bakery items.  Ok, now that you know we have similar offerings as others do, "what's next," you ask?  There's more...

We custom-roast our own coffees.  We develop relationships with single-origin coffee growers in different regions in various countries.  This relationship enables us to provide for our franchisees the freshest, best-tasting coffees from all over the world.  Our franchisees do not get coffee that's been sitting on the shelf for weeks or months (or even years, like some of our national competitors).  Our franchisees order coffee - we roast it within 24 hours!  We want our franchisees to have the freshest available coffee on the market.  It's no wonder we get so many compliments on our great-tasting coffees and espressos!  In addition, our franchisees have the option of carrying all kinds of different types of coffees, not just some typical industrial blend that's sold to the masses!

Lasaters Corporation negotiates on behalf of their franchisees.  Many coffeehouse operators who are just getting started in the coffee industry experience the difficulties that surround opening and running a coffeehouse.  From the freight costs to the product research there is a multitude of roads that can be taken.  How do you negotiate better pricing than what your local distributor or wholesaler offers?  How do you find out which product is more cost effective?  Which road do you take?  This is another benefit of owning a Lasaters Coffee & Tea franchise!  Lasaters is either a distributor, manufacturer or importer for every product we sell.  Our franchisees need not negotiate with other vendors to try to minimize their costs - that is already done for you!  One way for our franchisees to make a healthier profit than other franchise companies is if we pass on the savings to them.  Owning a Lasaters Coffee & Tea franchise has many perks; profit is simply one of those perks!

What does it take to start a Lasaters Coffee & Tea franchise?   First, you will need to submit some basic information to verify you're ready to start franchising.  Next, if you are approved, we will contact you for a meeting.  The process is fairly quick and you may be on your way to opening your new Lasaters Coffee & Tea store within a matter of weeks!  How exciting!
