Cuppy's Coffee College Underway

It's Monday and Coffee College is underway. Franchisees that are attending are within weeks of opening their locations.

While at Coffee College, franchisees will learn the nuances of espresso based drinks and smoothies. But that's not all, they will also learn operational processes of running their stores that will keep their customer's coming back for more. Marketing, customer service, procedural and business development training are just some of the knowledge these attendees will take with them after graduation from the week long course.

As a refresher, Cuppy's will send a field trainer to franchisee's locations prior to a opening date to assist with training and setup of their store. Soon thereafter, franchisees can set a Grand Opening date for their customers.

The attending franchisees are from the following cities and states:

• Athens, TN


• Savannah, GA


• Columbus, OH


• Salem, OR


• Carollton, GA
