A Unique Coffee Franchise

The Soul of Coffee

When you say coffee has soul, not everyone will understand. When you explain local roasting, some people won’t listen. When you tell the story of a single origin roast, some won’t care. They don’t get it. We make coffee for those who do. A cup of coffee isn’t just about flavor or energy. It’s much more. It’s about craftsmanship – the story of a skilled farmer working towards a better life. It’s about being rooted – staying true to the spirit of New Orleans. It’s about hospitality – treating each guest like a neighbor, because they are one. It’s the experience people gather around. It’s what inspires us to do better each day. It’s the warmth that goes into each cup. This is the soul of coffee and this is what makes PJ’s different.

A Taste Of New Orleans

Many PJ’s locations now offer our Beignets, bringing the timeless taste of the South to local communities across the country. These deep-fried pastries are the perfect pairing for our coffee, require little additional equipment to prepare, and are a major differentiator of our coffee franchise. This is a truly unique offering that will leave your customers licking their lips and coming back for more.

The Story of PJ’s

PJ’s Coffee was founded in 1978 by Phyllis Jordan and operates on the belief that superior coffee beans and sophisticated roasting methods result in better coffee. We also believe that a coffee purchase is far more than just a transaction. It’s an opportunity to connect with others and create a lasting bond. Our goal is to provide best-in-class hospitality experiences through providing remarkable menu options and superior customer service. Our franchise owners are part of our family and we diligently strive to embrace them with our culture, passion, and drive to deliver the finest food and New Orleans-style hospitality experience.

Build Something Special with Us

If you’re ready to embrace financial freedom and the flexibility of being your own boss, PJ’s Coffee offers an exciting opportunity to provide for your family while becoming part of ours. Our coffee shop franchise is looking for driven and hard-working entrepreneurs who are passionate about coffee and share our mission to deliver premium customer experiences. PJ’s currently has over 140 locations domestically and internationally with over 125 additional locations in development. Now is the perfect time to join a brand with a stunningly bright future.

Coffee is the world’s second-largest traded commodity, and the average American consumes over 3 cups of coffee every day. This presents a tremendous opportunity for us. However, we are also aware that our industry requires us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors. By offering quality products, unique menu offerings, including our New Orleans Beignets, and a welcoming environment, we are continually recognized as more than just a coffee shop, and for that our customers reward us by coming back time and again.

Supporting You Every Step of the Way

At PJ’s, we extend our southern hospitality to all of our franchisees and their staff. Just as we love building bonds with our customers, we are committed to doing the same with our coffee franchise owners. We provide support throughout the entire ownership process because our success is dependent on the success of our franchisees.

Our team assists franchisees with:

Obtaining start-up capital
Site identification and evaluation
Lease negotiations
Design and construction
Training and education
Marketing and advertising
Ongoing operational consulting

From the day you sign your franchise agreement to opening day and beyond, we will be by your side to make sure you are equipped with everything you need to find success with your new venture. With your skills and our support, together we can bring the New Orleans coffee experience into new communities. We can’t wait to get started, so take the first step today!
