Columbia, MO, January 8, 2019 – Scooter’s Coffee, the Midwest-based coffee franchise that has experienced tremendous growth over the past year, added its first location in Columbia, Missouri, with the company’s latest opening at 5 Old 63 South. To celebrate, the location will be hosting a Grand Opening on Friday, January 25, with giveaways throughout the day.

“We were very excited to join the Columbia community,” stated Mike Rogers, Chief Operating Officer of Scooter’s Coffee. “Columbia is a close-knit community that shares our midwestern values, and we are thrilled that we have the opportunity to bring our word-class coffee to this new market.”

On Grand Opening Day, customers can expect to receive several fun giveaways:

  • 10 a.m. – First 100 customers will receive a free $5 gift card with purchase
  • 1 p.m. – First 50 customers will receive a free Scooter’s Coffee tumbler with purchase
  • 4 p.m. – First 50 customers will receive a free Scooter’s Coffee t-shirt with purchase

The new location is owned by franchisee Kevin Hall. "We are so excited to be open in COMO and are having fun meeting all of our new customers, said Hall. “They are the best, and the community has made us feel so welcome in our first month of business. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of our customers on our Grand Opening day!” 

Following the Grand Opening, January 28 – February 10, the location will have a half off any drink discount available on the Scooter’s Coffee mobile app. The app allows customers to quickly pay for purchases by scanning a barcode linked to a registered Scooter’s Coffee gift card.

The app also includes a loyalty program and other features. Acting as a digital punch card, customers earn smiley faces when they use the app for purchases, then can redeem their smiley faces for a free drink after collecting 12. In addition, the app will enable customers to access special offers, view the nearest locations, browse the full Scooter’s Coffee menu and track purchases.

In line with their successful and robust grand opening strategy, Scooter’s Coffee recently opened five locations throughout Kansas and Missouri, opened the second of many locations in Arkansas and is opening additional locations in markets such as Phoenix, Arizona; Rapid City, South Dakota; Dallas, Texas; and Las Vegas, Nevada.
