Just Love Cafe Franchise Humble Beginning

At Just Love Coffee Cafe, we pride ourselves on creating fun, friendly spaces where our customers can relax and unwind however they choose — whether that’s reading a good book, writing their latest blog on their laptop, or catching up with family and friends. Just Love customers know that they’re not going to be rushed in and out, and so they stay longer — and spend more.

Just Love Coffee Cafe franchise was founded as an online coffee service to offer financial assistance to couples going through the adoption process, which can be extremely expensive. This charitable branch of the company continues to this day, having raised hundreds of thousands of dollars towards giving children a good home and helping couples fill their homes with love.

We don’t tell our cafe franchise owners what charities or causes they should support, but the right franchise owners are going to be community-minded. When you support the community, the community supports you. In Nashville, each one of our locations opens their doors to different causes, activities and events. It helps connect our brand to more people, winning new customers in the process.

The Just Love Management Team

(Decades of franchise growth experience)

cafe franchise founder rob webb

Rob Webb, Founder and CEO

Rob Webb is the founder of Just Love Coffee Franchise. In 2003 Rob left the Nashville, Tennessee music business to go into the family coffee roasting and distribution business. After five years of successfully growing the business, he dreamt the idea of Just Love Coffee.

He set up Just Love Coffee Roasters as a for-profit venture to help others defray the cost of adoption. In essence, Rob started a business dedicated to using hand-roasted coffees to help others whose passion was to… well, just love. It was a success!

In 2011 he opened the first Just Love Coffee Cafe coffee shop. Then in 2014, after developing a unique food program, he added three additional stores. Rob is the CEO of Just Love Coffee Cafe and is responsible for brand development, roasting (to ensure high quality standards in production), and R&D (new products, identifying industry trends, etc.). Rob is committed to supporting our franchisees on a daily basis. He also works on Roots of Love, our non-profit to support adoptive kids and families.
