The coffee chain, which was started by Cousins Tim and Marty McKenna and Brian and Mike Sillon in 2000, still operates as a family business more than twenty years later. Their first store was in Rochester, New Hampshire.

In time, more people discovered Aroma Joe’s uniqueness, which led to organic growth in Maine and New Hampshire. It wasn’t until 2012, when the company decided to franchise, that it started seeing accelerated growth. Loren Goodridge, a prolific Subway franchisee, is currently the CEO of Aroma Joe’s coffee.

Final thoughts

Aroma Joe’s Coffee is doing well for a company that runs as a family business. This is especially true when you consider the competition from Dunkin’, the coffee chain that dominates the Northeast coffee scene, and Starbucks’ apparent all-powerful presence everywhere. The choice to remain a drive-thru-centric operation seems to be serving it well, as the stores can deliver fast and personal service every time. This also means the investment by a franchisee is considerably low because the space taken up by a typical drive-thru is relatively small. Aroma Joe’s has chosen franchising as the way to grow and is keen on getting owner-operator franchisees who will maintain a personal touch with the business and its customers.
