Introduced in 2005 as a small batch roaster for local fundraising, Jumping Bean Coffee has evolved into an independent premium coffee roaster, specialty wholesaler, and café retailer offering premium blends and rich single-origin coffees. In 2010, the Mount Pearl, Newfoundland-based company introduced its franchise program and currently, in addition to about five corporate locations in Newfoundland, there are about five franchises in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. With plans for national growth, the company has retained Southbrook Business Development Group and JSF Franchise Group to secure entrepreneurs and business developers to bring the Jumping Bean Coffee Roasters to new markets across Canada through its exclusive Master Franchise opportunity. Joel Friedman of JSF Franchise explains that the Master Franchise Partner is responsible for developing a territory and has exclusive rights to recruit franchisees, earn ongoing royalties, oversee the advertising fund, control product distribution, and build the brand throughout the specific region. And there is only one Master Franchise available per territory. The franchise is unique in that the company shares royalties and are in charge of all of the product. “In many ways, you’re operating as the franchisor within your exclusive territory,” Friedman added. In addition to the Master Franchise search, Mila Kuzmicka at Southbrook Business Development Group is handling the search for high traffic and highly visible units in the 1800 square foot range.
