Meet a beans & brews Veteran Franchise owner
Earlier this year, Kelly Zaugg, a Navy Veteran who served in Iraq and multiple other locations overseas, joined the Beans & Brews family. He is currently a reserve sailor and works as a Navy Officer Recruiter. Between balancing his roles as a reservist and franchise owner, Zaugg found that the Beans & Brews franchise model fit seamlessly into his lifestyle. through their development of great set systems, which help the franchise run smoothly,” said Zaugg. “The Laramie family (founders of Beans & Brews) owns multiple locations so they understand the day-to-day operations and how to make effective changes for the brand. These set systems and hands-on management help make it so much easier for me to juggle being in the reserve while also being a business owner.”
Zaugg has been in the franchising industry for over 18 years, but this year he decided to make a big change. He took a leap by selling his prior fast food franchise and converting it into a Beans & Brews Coffeehouse! This decision came after he grew tired of seeing employee burnout within his previous franchise, and desired to run a business that aligned more closely with his values and lifestyle. After embarking on his search for a new business endeavor, Zaugg quickly realized that Beans & Brews was the perfect fit.
“The first thing I noticed about Beans & Brews was the intentional way proactive processes were put in place and how this training was passed on to ensure franchisees could create their own success,” said Zaugg. “I knew immediately after learning about the Beans & Brews management practices that this was the right brand to move forward with.” Prior to entering franchising, Zaugg also worked as a police officer for 21 years and has always been very involved in his community. Opening a Beans & Brews in his town has given Zaugg greater exposure to the public, where he can continue to form new connections with community members. Every Beans & Brews location gives back to its community through monthly donations to local organizations in need, which appealed to Zaugg since he spent over 20 years serving his community through law enforcement.
