Ziggi's Coffee

Ziggi's Coffee Franchise FDD, Costs & Fees (2025)

Drive-thru coffee franchise serving a variety of coffee, espresso drinks, and smoothies, focusing on quality and customer service.

Established in 2004 in Longmont, Colorado, Ziggi's Coffee has experienced remarkable growth, expanding from a single coffee shop to numerous drive-thru and coffeehouse locations nationwide.

Ziggi's Coffee started offering franchise opportunities in 2016, becoming known for its high-quality coffee and outstanding service, with a strong emphasis on community, product excellence, and profitability.

The franchise presents several business models to suit different markets and investment levels, including coffeehouses, coffeehouses with drive-thru options, and double-sided drive-thrus.

Veterans considering a franchise with Ziggi's Coffee can take advantage of a significant incentive: a full waiver of the franchise fee under certain conditions. Ziggi's Coffee is seeking franchisees both domestically and internationally, offering opportunities for single-unit and area development.

Training 

The franchisor delivers an extensive initial training program for its franchisees, blending online classroom sessions with hands-on in-person training. This program encompasses:

Owner Training: The franchisee or managing owner, along with an additional individual chosen by the franchisee and approved by the franchisor, must attend and successfully complete the owner training. This training is available both online and at the franchisor's training facilities in Mead, Colorado, and is offered without any tuition or fee for the classroom portion.

Manager Training: The designated manager responsible for overseeing the Coffee Shop, along with another management-level employee, must complete both the online classroom and the on-the-job training. The on-the-job training occurs either at an operating ZIGGI'S Coffee Shop or at the franchisor's training facilities in Mead, Colorado, and is provided without any tuition or fee.

On-Site Training: For the franchisee's first ZIGGI'S Coffee Shop, the franchisor offers approximately 32 hours of on-site training at the shop location before it opens and around 432 man-hours of ongoing on-site training during the initial 14 days following the opening.

Territory Protection

The franchisor does not provide franchisees with exclusive territory rights. Franchisees are permitted to operate their Coffee Shop solely at the designated approved location and may encounter competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other channels and formats under the franchisor's brand or any other brands controlled by the franchisor.

This implies that there is no territorial protection to prevent the franchisor from opening additional locations or awarding new franchises near any existing franchisee's site.
