The Human Bean Franchise Costs And Fees

About The Human Bean

The Human Bean was founded in 1998 with a commitment to developing the very best coffee drive-thru in Southern Oregon. Early success led to franchising the brand and system in 2002. The Human Bean brand currently has over 200 locations open or Franchises Under development in 23 states. The Human Bean will continue growth through approved franchisees sharing the same determination and commitment to the goals of this exceptional brand.

With a passion for creating happy people and our love of coffee, we opened our first drive-thru espresso stand in Ashland Oregon in 1998. The demand for convenient, quality coffee & espresso grew, and soon after opening our original location in Ashland, we expanded to surrounding cities in Southern Oregon. The Human Bean quickly established a reputation for having friendly and experienced baristas and offering the highest quality ingredients.

WHAT MAKES US BETTER

Unlike nearly all other franchises, we do not charge percentage-of-sales royalty fees. We earn revenues from bulk sales of coffee and other supplies ordered from our franchised locations.
At The Human Bean, we work as a team with our franchisees; our franchisees don’t work for us by paying high royalties or charge percentage-of-sales royalty that take away from their bottom line.
Our goal is for Human Bean franchisees to enjoy the returns from their investment while receiving the benefits of being part of The Human Bean franchise.

Our building designs aren’t limited to double-sided drive-thrus. We offer a single-sided design with a menu board and order station that maintains the speed of our double-sided locations. In fact, our newest corporate store uses this design and we have found that it increases accuracy. Click here to learn more. This innovative single-sided design paired with the order station increases flexibility when choosing site locations.

Having successfully managed several corporate locations ourselves, The Human Bean franchise team delivers the experience and expertise to assist you from start to finish in opening your own The Human Bean Espresso Drive-Thru business.
