Austin, Texas, Lands a Just Love Coffee Shop Franchise

Austin, Texas, Lands a Just Love Coffee Shop Franchise

Family-friendly, fun vibe sets Just Love apart from other players in the booming coffee cafe franchise sector, as these Austin owners are finding out

Just Love Coffee Cafe franchise owners come from all walks of life — that’s one of the amazing things about the business. It has a strong appeal to all kinds of people, both as customers and as franchise owners. For Austin, Texas, residents Chad and Marie Talley, the idea of owning a business that fit in beautifully with their lifestyle and community was too good to pass up.

Just Love Coffee

What led to your decision to open your own small business?

Chad: I’ve been working for Dell for the past 11 years and currently am a Director of Global Process Engineering. I have a strong management and business background, and I also teach and mentor a college and career class at our church. I wanted to find a way to combine my experience and mentoring in a way that would also work as a business. Just Love offers us that.

Marie: I also work with Chad as a mentor for young adults and have spent the past 10 years at home with our four children. My background is as an operations manager, including time overseeing the planning, purchasing and logistics of a robotics company. Like Chad, I wanted to bring the skills I have developed to a business that we would own, but that would also be a meaningful space for ourselves, our friends and community.

How did you find out about the Just Love Coffee Cafe brand?

Chad: We had been talking about opening our own business and were really just toying around with the idea — we hadn’t settled on any particular concept or what that would look like. I had a work-related trip planned in Nashville, and so I was doing some searches to find activities in the area where I’d be staying. I came across one of the Just Love locations there, and after visiting I found out there were franchising opportunities. From there, the pieces began to fall into place.

What made Just Love stand out for you?

Chad: We like that Just Love is integrated into the communities where it has locations. It’s a part of something, and we want to have a business that ties into our relationships with schools, friends, church and everything else. Now our work life can be a part of that larger picture.

Marie: I like the heart of it. We had talked about starting a coffee shop, but nothing beyond that as an idea. When we saw Just Love, both in terms of what it started out doing and what it looks like, we realized that it was very close to what we would want our business to look like. Why recreate the wheel? These people weren’t just serving coffee, they were serving the community. They want to better the community. We saw what they believed, and it matched completely with what we wanted.

How do you see your business plugging into your community?

Chad: So many ways. One big aspect of Just Love is “coffee with a purpose.” They began with the premise of helping people with adoption and have grown to be supportive of so many other worthy organizations. At the same time, they have built a business model that is financially rewarding to franchise owners. We see ourselves doing the same thing, on a smaller level, with the many community groups here that need support. We’re passionate about helping others, and we want people to have a place where they also can support their own passions. The culture of Just Love matches the culture that Marie and I want to grow; it’s more than just offering a product, but what they’re all about.

How has the corporate team engagement helped?

Chad: They have been a fantastic resource. We’ve been looking at several sites, and they were with us as we closed in on a location in the North Austin area. We are glad to have that support, because I am still working at my Dell job and Marie is still shifting back into workforce mode and still focused on our children. This is a big life transition for us, and they are helping us so that anything we face doesn’t create bigger challenges. Now we’re gearing up to get open this fall and are so excited about what’s next for us and for Just Love in Austin.

After the launch of two successful locations in Brentwood and Nashville, Tennessee, one of the hottest cities in the nation, Just Love Coffee is primed for expansion in 2018. Led by an executive team with proven experience in growing franchise systems, Just Love Coffee Cafe is an ideal investment for new and experienced entrepreneurs who want to get in on the ground floor of an exciting business opportunity in the $12 billion U.S. coffee shop industry.

Meet Just Love Coffee Cafe’s New Georgia Franchise Owner

Meet Just Love Coffee Cafe’s New Georgia Franchise Owner

The opportunity to venture out on his own and build a family-friendly business was all the incentive this busy health care professional needed to get started

For some people, entrepreneurism runs deep. Like with Minaj Patel, a new Just Love Coffee Cafe franchise owner in Pooler, Georgia, a bustling community near Savannah. Even though he’s been a busy and successful pharmacist for 10 years, he looks back fondly on the several years he and his family owned and operated a sandwich franchise — and he says he has been eager to have another business that’s entirely his own. When he and his wife, Mona, discovered Just Love, he knew they’d found their next opportunity.

Just Love Coffee CafeCafeshop franchise

What has led you back to owning and operating a business?

We enjoyed owning the restaurant but needed to sell it when I was in pharmacy school and had to move to Florida to complete my pharmaceutical training. Once I received my license, we moved back to Georgia and started our family. Since then we have been busy with children, and I have been enjoying my career as a pharmacist. But now the children are about to be in school full-time, and so my wife was starting to look around for opportunities. With Just Love, I will be able to continue working as a pharmacist, while she and I will both own and operate the cafe.

What helped Just Love stand out among your options?

As we began to look at franchise opportunities, we saw a lot with very high operating costs. The investment needed for many brands was beyond our range, entirely too high. The Just Love initial investment, however, was a figure that we felt we could afford through our own savings and a loan. The money aside, we looked at the business itself and thought it was so nice. We came to Nashville and toured the Brentwood location, which is a wonderful combination of modern and traditional. It was the little things: You go to some major chains and get coffee in a paper cup. At Just Love, you get a cup and saucer. We liked the authentic feel and modern vibe.

How has the onboarding process been?

The corporate team has been a huge help. They have come in to meet with us and our real estate broker, making sure that we find just the right spot. We are talking at least once a week and emailing continually, and if I need anything I get a response very quickly. They are a great resource not just as we work on our real estate, but also as we secure loans and all the other tasks needed to get set up. Now our lease has been finalized, and we’re looking to open in October or November.

How do you think Just Love is going to go over in your community?

People are going to really enjoy it. Just Love Coffee Cafe is so different; there are a lot of coffee shops, sure, but at others you go and wait in line, or wait at the drive-through, give your order and just go away. Here you’ll order, and then we bring everything to your table. And the food is very exciting! We love that we can make anything, even omelets, on the waffle iron. Nobody around here has anything like that, and the fact that we can offer breakfast, lunch and dinner means we can do business all day long. This is a unique concept, and nobody else here has the menu and feel that Just Love does.

After the launch of two successful locations in Brentwood and Nashville, Tennessee, one of the hottest cities in the nation, Just Love Coffee is primed for expansion in 2018. Led by an executive team with proven experience in growing franchise systems, Just Love Coffee & Eatery is an ideal investment for new and experienced entrepreneurs who want to get in on the ground floor of an exciting business opportunity in the $12 billion U.S. coffee shop industry.

Our unique coffee shop and cafe is a streamlined business
that’s attracting investors nationwide

The Just Love Coffee Café brand is continuing its strong growth trajectory, reporting several new locations and growth in multiple areas in the first quarter of 2023. Same-store sales growth has been strong for three years running, and all Just Love Coffee Café stores have experienced double-digit growth for two consecutive years.

Just Love is that rare, simple business model within the highly competitive cafe space that results in higher-than-average food sales and a quirky and profitable menu. Our founders have worked hard to make sure our coffee shop concept is easy to scale, making it ideal for investors who are looking to develop regionally. The success of our Middle Tennessee coffee shops illustrates the ease of scalability within one metropolitan area. In fact, our downtown Nashville Just Love Cafe location on Demonbreun Street recently reported a 38% increase over last year’s first-quarter sales.

“We scaled the brand in the booming Nashville metropolitan area on our own to standardize systems and operations and ensure that the business was not only easy to operate, but replicable and sustainable over the long term,” says Rob Webb, CEO and founder of Just Love Coffee & Eatery. “Our impressive first-quarter sales and growth are proof that our system is working and that our franchisees are excelling in their markets. As word spreads about our unique and fun concept, so does interest in investing in our brand. In March alone we took more than 300 inquiries from people interested in opening a Just Love Coffee Cafe in their community.”

Led by an executive team with proven experience in growing franchise systems, Just Love Coffee is an ideal investment for entrepreneurs who want to get in on the ground floor of an exciting business opportunity in the $12 billion U.S. coffee shop industry.

Low startup costs and higher-than-average food sales
make us a smart investment

Just Love Coffee Café has a simple-to-operate business model with a low franchise fee of $35,000 — considerably less than most coffee-shop franchises. Our unique menu is inspired by the waffle iron and eliminates the need for a full kitchen, making Just Love a simple food business to operate and more adaptable to modern coffee shop business trends. It also results in food ticket sales that are higher than the industry average. This translates into lower buildout costs than our competitors, as well as a faster ramp-up time. All of this allows for a potentially faster return on investment.

We also offer a rare coffee shop franchise opportunity that doesn’t require any experience in either restaurant management or coffee making — all that we require is that our new franchise owners are passionate about our brand and about making their new business successful.

Why Just Love Coffee Shop Franchise is a Great Family Run Business

Just Love Coffee offers an easy to run business with deep roots tied to supporting families and community

The Just Love Coffee Shop franchise stands out in the competitive cafe space as a low-cost startup that appeals to entrepreneurs passionate about coffee and community. People looking for an entry point investment into the food industry are finding Just Love to be an attractive business to run as a family-owned entrepreneurial enterprise.

MusicRow InteriorNew

Family run businesses are in style today as more entrepreneurial families are seeking both control and work-life balance through franchise ownership. A local coffee shop and cafe is a perfect way to employ family members and stay active in your community. Just Love is not only a good business to own, it has family-oriented roots.

Founder and CEO Rob Webb founded Just Love as a for-profit venture with a mission to help adoptive families. Rob and his wife Emily adopted two children from Ethiopia in 2009 and during the process he had a true lightbulb moment that would be the genesis of Just Love. As he added up the expense of the adoption trip and learned of the sacrifice and challenges of people in the same situation, he realized that a coffee company with a mission to serve would be a winning business venture.
