Scooter's Coffee ("Scooter's") is an American quick-serve coffee franchise based in Omaha, Nebraska, United States founded by Don and Linda Eckles. Originally named "Scooter's Java Express," the company chose the term "scooter" to emphasize their goal to help customers "scoot in and scoot out" quickly.[1]
Restaurant Format
[edit]Scooter's operates kiosk and coffeehouse location types. The kiosk model is roughly 660 square feet containing only enough space for workers and restaurant equipment. Scooter's coffeehouse is slightly larger with customer seating space. Both utilize their signature drive-thru.[2]

Awards & Recognition

In 2019, Scooter's was listed as a "Top Multi-Unit Franchise" by Franchise Business Review.[2] Additionally, Scooter's has been recognized as #13 in Yelp's 2023 "50 Most Loved Brands in the U.S." list and #3 on Franchise Times "Fast & Serious 40 Smartest-Growing Franchises" in 2023.[3]
