CC’s Coffee House, the  Louisiana-born coffee, announced today a strategic franchise growth plan.

Nearly 30 years after its 1995 launch, the brand is embarking on a significant expansion. It has established a distinct presence in the coffee industry, known for its welcoming atmosphere both in-store and across its various platforms. Its reputation is built on high-quality offerings, including handcrafted beverages, signature coffee blends and freshly baked pastries.

“Our decision to franchise represents a transformative new chapter for CC’s Coffee House,” said Celton Hayden Jr., CEO and president of CC’s Coffee House. “We have perfected our craft for decades and there is no doubt that we are ready to bring our exceptional coffee and CC’s guest experience to new markets. This next phase of our growth is about empowering passionate entrepreneurs who share our vision and want to plant deep roots in their communities.”

For nearly 30 years, the brand has built a strong base of loyal customers, paving the way for franchise expansion into neighbouring Southeast states and select markets in Texas. Drawing on years of successful licensing experience and strong community ties, the brand is ready to meet growing franchising demand and raise its profile with experienced owner/operator groups. The brand currently operates in high-traffic locations like shopping centers, medical centers, universities and grocery stores.brand iAm

As part of its evolving franchise strategy, CC’s is introducing a new drive-thru-only format, typically around 800 square feet, to address the growing demand for convenient coffee options. Drive-thru sales currently make up 75% to 80% of the brand’s overall sales, making this new format a natural step forward. This drive-thru-only model will add to CC’s range of store formats, which typically span 1,500 to 1,800 square feet and offer franchisees more flexible options to meet market needs and customer preferences.

In its transition from a licensing model to franchising, the brand is focused on providing franchisees with comprehensive support, including training, real estate assistance and operational resources. Joining CC’s Coffee House offers the opportunity to be part of the $33 billion coffee industry, with access to expert guidance and advanced operations and marketing tools to help set up a strong foundation for success.

“Our goal goes beyond expanding our footprint—we want to award the franchise to individuals who not only have a love for coffee but also possess a deep passion for their communities and making meaningful connections with local guests,” said Kelly Parker, senior director of franchise development at CC’s Coffee House. “We’re seeking franchisees who are aligned with the core values that define our brand.”

CC’s Coffee House is built on three core values: ‘Be Real, Be Exceptional and Be Passionate’. These principles have shaped the brand from the beginning, reflecting Louisiana’s rich coffee culture and vibrant community spirit.

Those interested in franchising with CC’s should have a passion for coffee and a strong connection to their local communities. They must also meet financial requirements, including at least $250,000 in liquid assets and a net worth of $1 million. Experience in business, leadership, or managing multiple locations is preferred, as well as a commitment to opening three to five locations
