NEWS RELEASE
ZIGGI'S COFFEE
*************************
Ziggi’s Coffee (www.ZiggisCoffee.com), Northern Colorado’s rapidly growing coffee franchise, has purchased land in Mead, at the corner of Third and Welker, upon which it will build a three-story, 10,350-square-foot building.

The new development will house its new headquarters as well as an on-site training facility, a 750-square-foot rooftop deck and a 1,500-square-foot Ziggi’s Coffee café and drive-thru.  

The new facility will allow franchisees to have an all-encompassing experience that will grant them easy access to a robust support team and will provide a unique training experience.

New franchisees will have the ability to go from classroom training to real-life experience, beginning with hands-on learning in a lab setting and culminating with practicing their skills inside the fully operating café drive-thru. 

“This will expand our resources beyond what we imagined possible when we began this business in 2004,” said Brandon Knudsen, cofounder and president of Ziggi’s Coffee. “With the amount of growth we have experienced over the past couple years, we knew it was time to create a space that will serve multiple purposes and become more than just an office space; it truly is going to be game-changing from a training standpoint.”  

Ziggi's Coffee has recently been recognized by top business and franchise publications as a company experiencing rapid growth. It ranked No. 225 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500, a highly esteemed list of the franchise industry’s leading companies recognized for their outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

Additionally, Ziggi’s ranked No. 3 on Franchise Gator’s list of Top Emerging Franchises: Franchises Worth Considering in 2021, and also ranked No. 5 on its list of Top 100 Fastest Growing Franchises. Last year, Ziggi’s Coffee also was included on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. 

“It is an amazing opportunity to build our new headquarters in the Northern Colorado region, which has been our home-base since we started Ziggi’s Coffee over 17 years ago,” Knudsen said. “This community has witnessed our growth over the years and supported us every step of the way. With its strong sense of community and support for local businesses like ours, we are honored to be part of Mead and the Northern Colorado area.” 

The company was founded on the corner of Main Street in Longmont, by Knudsen and his wife, Camrin, in 2004. Since then, the couple has expanded their business through franchising, which now has locations in Colorado, California, Arizona, Iowa, and Oklahoma, with additional agreements to open units in eight more states. There are currently 29 locations nationwide.
