The latest multi-unit deal is with established Scooter’s franchisees.
Scooter’s Coffee has announced a new multi-unit agreement that will bring more than two dozen new locations to the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma market.
Signed with Jason and Rita Metcalf, a franchisee couple who have worked with Scooter’s Coffee since 2005, the new deal includes the purchase of 13 Scooter’s Coffee corporate stores, along with plans to build an additional 26 units in the area over the coming years.
“Jason and Rita have a deep well of operational knowledge with the Scooter’s Coffee system and will be excellent partners in carrying the brand’s banner in OKC,” said Tim Arpin, Scooter’s Coffee VP of franchise sales.
“There is a whole village of people internally who worked tirelessly with the Metcalfs to make this acquisition a reality for them, and they deserve a huge thank you. We’re excited for their growth and journey as we enter 2021 and beyond!”
Scooter’s, which began franchising in 2001, has over 300 stores operating across 18 states, with commitments to open more stores in a total of 24 states.
“The Scooter’s brand has continued to develop and provide a road map for franchisees to continue to grow,” said Jason Metcalf. “We have the systems in place and an aggressive development schedule which will keep us focused on our goals. Now, we just need to stay with the playbook that allowed us to grow. We love the state of Oklahoma and appreciate how welcoming they are of our brand.”
