In honor of International Women's Day, we, the leadership team at Coffee Beanery, wanted to share our stories and journeys that have led us to where we are today. Our team comprises three members, including Joanne Shaw, the founder and CEO, Julia Shaw, and Brittan Butcher, our Director of E-commerce. Joanne Shaw, the visionary behind Coffee Beanery, began her entrepreneurial journey in 1969 when she established Today's Show Services, an office coffee service company. Recognizing the need for a specialty coffee store where people could savor real and high-quality coffee, she opened the first Coffee Beanery store in 1975. Back then, most coffee was freeze-dried and lacked flavor, and Joanne aimed to change that. Over the next nine years, Joanne and her team expanded the Coffee Beanery brand, opening a total of eight corporate stores by 1985. That year marked the beginning of Coffee Beanery's franchising journey, which has since seen significant growth, including a thriving web-based business. One of Joanne's remarkable achievements was becoming the first woman Chairperson of the International Franchise Association (IFA) in the year 2000. Her trailblazing role paved the way for more women to take leadership positions in the franchise industry. Her advice to never limit oneself, be willing to learn, and have the determination to succeed has been instrumental in her journey. Laurie Shaw, Joanne's daughter-in-law, brought her unique perspective to the leadership team. Despite not having a Harvard business degree, Laurie's leadership style emphasizes collaboration and problem-solving. She transitioned from a teaching degree to taking over various roles within the company, ultimately becoming the CEO. Britain Butcher, also part of the Shaw family, joined the team after college. She pursued a degree in marketing, international business, and graphic design. Britain started by working in Coffee Beanery stores and then joined as an intern. Her dedication and willingness to learn led her to her current role as Director of E-commerce, despite having no prior experience in that field. What sets Coffee Beanery apart is the willingness to embrace unconventional paths to success. Joanne and Laurie's mentorship approach focuses on encouraging team members to step out of their comfort zones and develop new skills. This includes taking Dale Carnegie courses, a life-changing experience that helps individuals become more confident public speakers and communicators. Their shared belief in building a strong team and fostering an environment of trust and collaboration has led Coffee Beanery to great heights. They understand the importance of self-awareness, knowing one's strengths and weaknesses, and being open to seeking expertise where needed. Today, Coffee Beanery continues to thrive under the leadership of Joanne, Laurie, and Britain, exemplifying the spirit of Women in Business. Their message to women everywhere is clear: never limit yourself, be open to learning, and support and mentor each other. They believe that success is not limited, and together, we can achieve great things. On this International Women's Day, Coffee Beanery celebrates the remarkable journeys of these women in leadership and the invaluable lessons they have shared. Their commitment to empowering women in business has left an indelible mark on the world of franchising and entrepreneurship.
In this lively and informative conversation, we dive into the surprising health benefits of our favorite morning beverage – coffee. Join us as we uncover the remarkable findings from a reputable source, John Hopkins Medicine, and discuss why coffee might just be more than a pick-me-up. We began by sharing the intriguing results, discussing each one in detail, and exchanging our thoughts on the topic. With enthusiasm, we learned that coffee drinkers might just be onto something. Our conversation highlighted that coffee, when consumed in moderation, could have several advantages for our well-being. We discussed how it could potentially lead to a longer life, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Surprisingly, women who drink coffee may be less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, and it can also contribute to better liver health. The conversation took an interesting turn when we talked about the impact of coffee on our DNA. Dark roast coffee, in particular, may decrease DNA strand breakages, potentially reducing the risk of cancer. It was a revelation that left us both amazed. We explored the link between coffee consumption and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, discovering that caffeine might provide protection against them. The conversation delved into the fact that coffee can lower the risk of colon cancer, a topic that hit close to home. Throughout our discussion, we emphasized the importance of moderation in coffee consumption. We touched on the recommended daily intake, around 3-5 cups, and how the type of coffee and brewing method can influence its health benefits. Rinsing filters and using high-quality coffee beans were recommended for a richer and healthier experience. Our engaging dialogue also included some light-hearted moments, like sharing personal anecdotes about using grape juice as a remedy and a humorous mention of a lucrative email offer. We even threw in a fun challenge for our audience, encouraging them to answer a question related to coffee's antioxidant content for a chance to win a prize. In closing, we thanked our viewers for joining us on this coffee-filled journey through the world of health benefits. We left them with the promise of more intriguing discussions in the future, leaving them eagerly awaiting our next "Ted Talk" session. Overall, this conversation was an enjoyable and enlightening exchange about the hidden treasures that coffee can offer to our health.
In our latest coffee subscription box, we're taking you on a journey fit for royalty with the "Tea with the Queen" theme for February. Join us in savoring the splendid flavors that echo the elegance and charm of a royal tea party. Our subscribers have been buzzing with excitement about this regal collection of coffee delights. Each box comes adorned with a charming design, inviting you to uncover the secrets and stories behind the coffee beans within. As you open the box, you'll be greeted by a delightful card introducing the four enchanting flavors, each inspired by the Queen's own preferences. It's like a royal invitation to a grand tea affair. Blueberry Scones and Cream: First on the list is the "Blueberry Scones and Cream." Picture yourself indulging in warm, fresh blueberry scones paired with a velvety vanilla cream. The subtle hint of cinnamon adds a touch of sophistication to this brew, making it an exquisite way to start your day. Sticky Toffee Pudding: Close your eyes, take a sip, and transport yourself to the enchanting world of "Sticky Toffee Pudding." This coffee captures the essence of a buttery toffee dessert, bringing you all the sweet, rich flavors without a single calorie. A dash of cream enhances the experience, taking you on a guilt-free culinary adventure. Shortbread: Delve into the world of British classics with "Shortbread." A harmonious blend of buttery goodness and rich vanilla notes dances on your palate. It's like enjoying a bite of homemade shortbread cookies, bringing warmth and comfort with every sip. Victoria's Sponge Cake: Finally, we invite you to taste the charm of "Victoria's Sponge Cake." This delightful coffee resonates with the light, airy layers of a sponge cake, accentuated by a luscious buttercream and strawberry jam. The strawberry notes give it a fruity twist, reminiscent of an afternoon tea in the garden. Our coffee subscription box is available in two options: 2.5-ounce ground bags or K-Cups. For those who love variety, the K-Cup option offers 12 cups of each delightful flavor, packaged with care and attention to detail. Now, let's not forget the fun of uncovering the truth among our secrets. In the spirit of mystery and intrigue, we presented two truths and one falsehood about Coffee Beanery: 1. Cafe Carmel Mystery: It's true; we've often been asked about the spelling of our signature drink, "Cafe Carmel." The mystery behind its unusual spelling remains unsolved, but it's an authentic piece of Coffee Beanery history. 2. Baking Coffee Beans: Our CEO's coffee journey didn't start with baking beans in the oven. In reality, she's a maestro at brewing coffee and is on a mission to bring you the best flavors. 3. The Gambler's Payoff: Lord Julius, the founder of Coffee Beanery, did use his Las Vegas gambling winnings to help secure our place in coffee history. His daring spirit and determination paved the way for our success. So, which one do you think is the falsehood? We'd love to hear your guesses in the comments below. As we share this royal experience with you, we can't help but reflect on the rich history and family values that have shaped Coffee Beanery. From our humble beginnings to our commitment to quality and innovation, we're honored to continue the legacy started by Julius and Joanne Shaw over four decades ago. Join us in savoring February's "Tea with the Queen" Coffee Subscription Box, and let these exquisite flavors transport you to the world of British elegance and charm. Cheers to coffee fit for royalty!
Join us as we uncover the world of franchising through the lens of Coffee Beanery. This discussion dispels common myths and provides insights into the essence of franchising. Despite misconceptions, franchises are often community-driven ventures. Familiar brands like McDonald's and Taco Bell are typically run by local entrepreneurs, not distant corporate entities. Franchising is a business relationship granting limited rights to use a company's name and systems in exchange for a fee. It's about local empowerment and community support. It's also an opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to own a business with reduced risk. Building a successful franchise relies on trust and clear communication between franchisors and franchisees. To be classified as a franchise, three elements must be present: limited rights, system rights, and a fee paid to the franchisor. Franchising offers independence with guidance and reduces risk. It provides access to collective purchasing and fosters a unique network of franchisees who learn from each other. At Coffee Beanery, our core values include a positive attitude, teamwork, outstanding customer service, and continual improvement. We value feedback to refine our products and services. Franchisees have the freedom to make decisions while adhering to our brand standards and training. Franchising is a partnership, empowering individuals to become successful entrepreneurs, fostering community connections, and continuously improving. Coffee Beanery is proud to be part of this dynamic world of franchising, and we look forward to sharing our journey with you.
Laurie and Patti, the driving force behind Coffee Beanery, recently hosted Sarah from Rebecca's Reason, an organization deeply cherished by them. The conversation unveiled their incredible commitment to supporting vital causes. Coffee Beanery has a profound appreciation for its customers, expressed through their unwavering dedication to meaningful causes. They've previously backed Street Hearts Animal Rescue and Safe Haven, moved by the tireless efforts of volunteers. Rebecca's Reason, however, holds a unique place in their hearts. Sarah, the founder, shared her heart-wrenching journey after losing her daughter, Rebecca, to Trisomy 18 in 2016. Laurie and Patti resonated with her struggle to cope with medical bills amid emotional trauma, having faced challenges themselves with their children's health. Rebecca's Reason's primary focus is alleviating the financial burden for families grappling with unexpected child loss. They've aided 250 families nationwide, preventing bankruptcy and asset loss during their darkest hours. The discussion emphasized the significance of preserving cherished memories. Just as Laurie and Patti share their children's stories, Rebecca's Reason enables families to honor their children's legacies. Sarah introduced her daughters, Catherine and Carol, both with unique struggles. Carol's battle with hypoplastic left heart syndrome resulted in multiple surgeries, showcasing her remarkable resilience. Laurie and Patti's commitment to supporting Rebecca's Reason shone brightly. They donated $5,200, raised through Cinnamon Holiday Blend sales, to further Rebecca's Reason's mission. Coffee Beanery's fundraising program, offering a 40% profit margin, empowers individuals and organizations to raise funds for various causes while delivering quality products. It's a testament to the enduring goodness of humanity. Laurie and Patti's dedication to making a positive impact reflects the power of kindness. Their support for Rebecca's Reason and other causes embodies the idea that, even amid adversity, hope prevails, and collective efforts can create meaningful change.
We had the pleasure of sitting down with the Shaw family, the driving force behind Coffee Beanery, a family-owned business that's been brewing coffee for over 40 years. The conversation was a delightful blend of laughter, memories, and insights into their roles within the company. Kevin Shaw, the patriarch of the family, humorously introduced himself as the one who does whatever Laurie, his wife, tells him to do. His cheerful demeanor sets the tone for the conversation. Laurie Shaw, the CEO of Coffee Beanery, shared her incredible journey within the company. Starting as an executive secretary, she worked her way up through various roles, from fundraising to marketing and store operations. She now jokingly refers to her role as overseeing "the coffee world," and her passion for the business is evident. Their children have also played integral roles in the business: Britain has spent over a decade at Coffee Beanery, starting in a store during her college years and now working in e-commerce while balancing motherhood. Logan, the head roaster and manager of the production facility, started as a store employee and exemplifies the family's "wear many hats" ethos. Houston, who handles new business and assists with store operations, climbed the ranks from a store employee to managing two stores. Branson, responsible for distribution, ensures that Coffee Beanery's freshly roasted coffee reaches customers promptly. • London, who works as a Chief Stew on a yacht in Florida, wasn't present during the conversation, but her adventurous career was proudly mentioned. We also met the youngest members of the family: Sedona, a sixth-grader, helps with coffee-related tasks and earns her fair share. Ella, the youngest, made a brief appearance during the conversation. The Shaw family engaged in a fun game of "most likely to," sharing amusing anecdotes and insights into their personalities: From Monopoly meltdowns to surviving a zombie apocalypse, their candid responses showcased their close bond. They playfully discussed language learning, gambling, movie preferences, and potential future inventions. They recognized their appreciation for their loyal customers and supporters, acknowledging the challenges faced by small businesses, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coffee Beanery family clearly values their extended family of customers and considers them an essential part of their journey.
In our latest live-stream event at Coffee Beanery, we were thrilled to introduce the January Coffee Subscription Box, a delightful journey into the world of CB Originals. Our enthusiastic hosts, Lori, Patty, and Michelle, brought the essence of Coffee Beanery right to your screens. The theme for this month's subscription box was "CB Originals," where we decided to bring a piece of our Coffee Beanery menu straight to your homes. Even though the shipment got a bit delayed due to a holiday, we couldn't contain our excitement to reveal these unique coffee flavors. First up was the "Cafe Caramel," a timeless classic at Coffee Beanery. With its buttery caramel aroma, it tantalized our senses. This delicious coffee is inspired by our top-selling Café Caramel, which is low in sugar and calorie-friendly, making it a perfect choice for those looking for a guilt-free treat to start their day. Next, we unveiled the "Mocha Cream," which boasted hints of milk chocolate and orange. This delightful concoction was a personal favorite of Michelle, one of our lovely hosts. The rich cocoa notes combined with the zesty orange hints provided a sweet and satisfying experience. Our third flavor, "Caribbean Iceberg," was a delightful surprise. This flavor had been away from our stores for a while, but it was worth the wait. Inspired by the exotic Caribbean vibes, it offered a blend of caramel and toasted coconut. Perfect for an iced coffee, it brought a tropical vacation straight to your coffee cup. Last but not least, we presented the "Ice Fudge Ripple," known for its notes of chocolate and toasted almonds. This signature drink at our stores is akin to chocolate milk for adults. It's smooth, chocolaty, and an excellent way to dive into the world of coffee, even if you're a novice. As our hosts took us through the coffee tasting journey, they also shared personal stories and anecdotes, making us feel like we were right there with them. Lori even shared a quirky dream she had, which somehow felt strangely related to the exciting happenings at Coffee Beanery. But the fun didn't stop there! Patty demonstrated how to recreate the Café Caramel at home. You start with a generous portion of caramel sauce, followed by an ounce of half-and-half. Then, top it off with your freshly brewed Coffee Beanery coffee. A dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings crowned this delicious creation, making it an absolute must-try. Looking ahead, we teased some new K-cup flavors that will soon be available. The highly requested "White Chocolate Strawberry" and "Mackinaw Island Fudge" were among the upcoming treats. We also shared our excitement about involving our community in the research and development process for new flavors, ensuring we continue to cater to your coffee preferences. In summary, the January Coffee Subscription Box themed "CB Originals" was a delightful journey that brought the Coffee Beanery experience right to your doorstep. With unique flavors, personal stories, and exciting future prospects, our live stream was a vibrant celebration of all things coffee. Stay tuned for more exciting surprises, and don't forget to join our VIP group for a chance to influence our coffee creations. Cheers to coffee and togetherness!
At Coffee Beanery, we invite you to take a sneak peek behind the scenes of our coffee roasting process. In this insightful conversation, we shed light on the artistry, dedication, and meticulous quality control that goes into crafting your favorite coffee blends. Meet the Roaster: Logan's Passion for Coffee Our conversation starts with Logan, our dedicated Master Roaster, who shares his journey into the world of coffee roasting. Logan's passion for coffee led him to explore coffee roasters across Europe, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise back to Coffee Beanery. Single Origin vs. Blends: The Coffee Distinction Logan explains the difference between single origin and blended coffees. Single origin coffees come from specific regions, offering unique flavor profiles, while blends are an intricate art form where different coffees are meticulously combined to achieve a specific taste. We emphasize using only the top 10% of Arabica coffees grown worldwide, ensuring exceptional quality and flavor in every cup. The Organic Coffee Dilemma The conversation delves into the topic of organic coffee. While Coffee Beanery values quality and supports ethical farming practices, the team questions the necessity of expensive organic certifications. They highlight that coffee from high-altitude mountainous regions tends to be naturally pesticide-free, making organic labels less crucial in these cases. Quality Control: Ensuring Freshness and Flavor The meticulous quality control at Coffee Beanery is discussed, emphasizing the importance of maintaining freshness. Green coffee beans are carefully tested for moisture content to ensure optimal roasting. Inside the roastery, beans are continuously monitored, with both exterior and interior measurements, guaranteeing a consistent and high-quality roast every time. Introducing "Thomas": Our New Roaster Around a year ago, Coffee Beanery welcomed a new roaster named "Thomas." This state-of-the-art roaster brings automation while retaining manual controls for fine-tuning the roasting process. It's a significant upgrade, ensuring precise, consistent, and quality roasts. A Unique Piece of History: Betsy's Legacy Coffee Beanery's historical roaster, affectionately named "Betsy," has a unique story. It's a German roaster from World War II, and there are only two known operational units worldwide. While Betsy served us well for many years, her time has come to pass, but her legacy will continue as she's refabricated for someone else to enjoy. Upcoming Virtual Coffee Tasting Experience Coffee Beanery is excited to introduce a virtual coffee tasting experience. You'll receive coffee samples, and together, we'll explore the intricacies of coffee flavors, just like wine tasting. Whether you're a seasoned coffee connoisseur or simply curious, this interactive tasting promises to be an engaging and enlightening experience. Keep an eye out for more details soon. Coffee Beanery invites you to join us on this journey of coffee exploration. We're committed to delivering exceptional coffee while sharing our passion and expertise with you.
