Caribou Coffee opened its doors in 1992, after its owners experienced a life changing moment on top of an Alaskan mountain. Caribou Coffee strives to make their customers’ days better by providing the best coffee shop experience and of course, the best coffee.
Caribou’s philosophy has paid off as they are the second largest specialty coffee company in the United States. They now own and operate coffee shops in 13 states and employ over 4,000 employees.
Do They Franchise?
Unfortunately, Caribou Coffee does not franchise. They do have a licensing program, but it is reserved for international stores only at this time (July 2006).
