Multi-Unit Development Gains Steam as Leading Coffee Franchise Continues its Growth Movement

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii, a leading coffee franchise renowned for its premium sourcing of Hawaiian coffees and memorable cafés, announces a three-store signed agreement in the greater Las Vegas market. This news comes on the heels of two multi-unit signed development agreements in Phoenix, as Southwestern expansion gains steam.

Behind the three-store agreement is Bad Ass Coffee's newest franchisee, Umang Patel. Patel and his team are currently in the site selection stage and exploring both traditional and nontraditional units with the aim of opening the first store in the next six months. This location will mark the brand's second store in the Las Vegas market.

"Umang's dedication to entrepreneurial success through building a strong family culture and creating exceptional customer experiences exemplify the qualities that we value most in our franchise partners," said Scott Snyder, CEO of Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii. "As we expand our presence in the Southwest, Umang's experience, capabilities, and vision align well with our aggressive desired growth goals in the vibrant Las Vegas market – often referred to as the 9^th Hawaiian Island due to the high concentration of Hawaiian citizens now residing in the area."

Multi-unit growth continues to play a momentous role in Bad Ass Coffee's franchise expansion strategy. More than 70% of the system is now comprised of multi-unit operators.

With rapid national expansion underway, the brand is currently supporting aggressive growth plans in the Southwest, Southeast, Texas, and Coastal prime markets.
