Beans & Brews Coffeehouse Sees Strong Start to 2026 with Record Franchise Growth

Beans & Brews Coffeehouse is off to an impressive start in 2026, with franchise development reaching new heights in the first quarter of the year. The specialty coffee franchise brand continues to gain momentum across the Mountain West and Texas, driven by strong franchise demand and strategic growth opportunities. 

Recent openings include a mix of traditional coffeehouses and non-traditional locations, including grocery store partnerships that make the brand more accessible to busy consumers. One standout opening in Price, Utah, inside a Lin’s Fresh Market, delivered the strongest opening weekend in company history and replaced a former Starbucks location. 

This continued expansion reflects the strength of the Beans & Brews model, attracting both first-time franchise owners and experienced operators looking to grow into multi-unit ownership.  

“We’re seeing incredible momentum because our model is both flexible and built to scale,” said Beans & Brews CEO, Doug Willmarth. “That combination makes Beans & Brews an exciting opportunity for entrepreneurs looking for a brand built for long-term franchise growth.” 

At Beans & Brews, we’re looking ahead to even more openings in 2026, as we remain committed to thoughtful franchise growth and delivering a coffee experience that keeps customers coming back.
