The Business of Coffee

LOCAL COFFEE OPERATIONS, BIG AND SMALL, THRIVING

A recent study noted that 4 in 10 people drank coffee that wasn’t brewed at their home in a 24-hour period.

The results were put together by the United States National Coffee Association’s (NCA) consumer trends report in September 2024.

With current coffee consumption at a high, these results have Omaha’s coffee roasters, retailers and shops operating at peak capacity to keep up.

“I’m convinced that there is not a more authentic way to bring people together than around really good food and coffee,” said Autumn Pruitt, owner and CEO of Hardy Coffee Co.

Pruitt founded the company 14 years ago and has since expanded to four locations with 65 employees. She noted that the human desire to connect is one factor driving this growth.

“On my very first day as the business owner, a customer named Arvin came in,” she said. “I served him and we chatted. Before he left, he said, ‘I’ve been a bit of a coffee shop orphan since my last spot closed. I’d like to order oatmeal and tea here every day if you’ll have me.’

“In our industry, we serve people all day long. It’s easy for that to become a blur of cinnamon rolls and lattes but seeing every customer as an individual matters. It’s those people who become regulars and bring

their friends that sustain shops like ours. We are at our best when we remember that the details matter and connection is key.”

No slowing down

The NCA report also showed daily coffee consumption overall had reached a two-decade high. It showed that 67% of respondents drank coffee of some kind during the previous 24 hours and 45% drank “specialty” coffee drinks.

This is sweet music to John Owen, chief operating officer for Scooter’s Coffee. Since its founding in 1998, the chain has grown to 840 locations in 31 states.

“Scooter’s Coffee is an innovator in the specialty coffee space, having been one of the first drive-thru coffee shops to open in the Omaha area,” he said. “Our customers see Scooter’s Coffee as their neighborhood coffee drive-thru, a connection we hope to foster in all markets where we have stores.”

As much as what’s in the cup, it’s the experience driving the company’s success. Owen said the experiential element of Scooter’s is so important it’s one of the key factors in the company’s strategy going forward.

“Our biggest challenge is increasing market share in the face of

CONTINUED

the growth of the number of coffee locations outpacing the growth of coffee consumption,” he said. “Our opportunity is to continue to personalize the customer experience by keeping up with their everevolving needs.”

The fourth wave

According to Mintel.com, the coffee consumption spike is more than students cramming for exams and commuters grabbing a cup of joe on the way to work. The site claims the United States coffee business is just over the threshold of its fourth wave since the 1800s.

Matt Boshart, owner of Reboot Roasting, is a poster child for the fourth wave. A former IT worker who leveraged his skills as a coffee roasting

hobbyist into a thriving business, Boshart swims against the tide of offering a dozen coffee varieties to suit subtle vagaries in taste.

Instead, he opts for a short list of selections roasted to appeal to the widest possible demographic. He also sells through an online store, eschewing his own brick-and-mortar retail.

“I picked, I guess you could call it our staple lineup, which is primarily three caffeinated varieties,” he said. “I just kind of sourced those three to cover the full gamut of what I thought a daily coffee drinker would want.”

Boshart maintains more flexibility for corporate clients and also custom roasts white-label products packaged and marketed under other brands. The results have been impressive; since going full time in 2018, the company has gone from roasting about 150 pounds per week to now north of 600 pounds weekly and has upgraded its roasting capacity three times. He sees even more growth coming in 2025, largely on the back of the wholesale market.

“Our plan is to continue to grow as a coffee partner that is there to support our customers,” he said. “Growing wholesale, especially outside of Omaha, we want to start working on a little more of that. We have some cafes, some customers in Missouri Valley, Grand Island, Lincoln, North Platte and we’d just like to continue growing that business.”

Room for more

While competition has intensified, there’s still room for growth in the local market as the public downs more java per capita. Dan Loutzenhiser, who owns Stories Coffee with his wife, Brooke, started as a mobile coffee cart inside a church in 2017 and has grown to 96 employees and five locations with another opening soon.

“I think that there’s just a much more significant awareness of what good coffee is that many people 10, 20 years ago had no idea about,” he said. “There are a lot of local coffee shops that are opening up, which is so cool, and many are roasting the beans themselves.”

Loutzenhiser is one of those who roasts the beans he brews and sells but that’s not all that’s on the menu in Stories’ stylish and comfortable coffee shops. Tea, food, beer, wine and cocktails are also served to meet a broad range of tastes, blurring the lines between coffee shop, café and bar.

Coming into the business from the corporate world with almost no experience in food service meant Loutzenhiser was in full-time learning mode in the early days.

“Obviously there’s a huge learning curve going from corporate to

owning your own small business,” he said. “You realize quickly that you are the HR department, you’re repairs and maintenance, you’re literally everything. I quickly had to bring up my education and understanding of all the business aspects. That was a huge, huge learning curve.”

The first and biggest lessons for success in this business were learned on day one and have been practiced ever since Loutzenhiser said.

“Ever since we opened, we’ve always been very adamant about showing kindness and understanding the small stuff like manners and looking people in the eye, and trying to remember people’s names,” he said “Our motto is, ‘Be a small part of everyone’s story,’ and I think that’s kind of what people are looking for in a coffee shop, a focus on community, the experience and the human connection. I think it’s the way people feel and how they are taken care of that sets you apart.”

HIGHLIGHT of the week

Cups Café, operated by no more empty pots, celebrated its grand opening on January 7, 2025.

Coffee and Community

NO MORE EMPTY POTS OPENS CUP CAFÉ IN FLORENCE NEIGHBORHOOD

BY TIFFANY BRAZDA | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROGER HUMPHRIES

No More Empty Pots has re-opened Cups Café, the community space in its Florence Neighborhood. Located at 8501 N. 30th St., the coffee shop opened its doors Jan. 7 after a long hiatus. The café originally opened in 2019 but was abruptly closed just after three months of operation due to the pandemic.

“The importance for us to get the space back up and running is not only to recreate that sense of humanity that we had here at that time, but also one of our main goals is to become more self-sustainable as an organization,” said Bret Heese, retail manager at No More Empty Pots.

The coffee shop enables the nonprofit to support its operations as well as entrepreneurs who have participated in the Entrepreneur Journey program. During the grand opening event, food from Sweet Meatz Desserts and Busy Vegan were served.

“We want our entrepreneurs to know what it’s like to have a brick and more retail

location,” Heese said, noting when the café is closed, it will be host to pop-up events for entrepreneurs.

The café, which features a bright and cozy seating area for patrons to enjoy a cup of coffee, also includes a meeting space.

“I’m really passionate about the concept of third spaces, which is having a space that’s separate from work or home, where you can go to connect with people in your community,” said Cups Café Lead Nyarok (Rayn) Tot. “That’s what I’m hoping Cup’s Cafe can be for people. A third space where they could come find resources where they can connect with others in their community.”

The café is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information on Cups Café and No More Empty Pots programs, visit nmepomaha.org.

TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW

JPMorganChase’s 2025 Business Leaders Outlook shows optimistic trends

The annual survey was conducted online, and gathered data from 2,644 businesses, ranging from small businesses with revenues of between $100,000$20 million and midsize businesses with revenues between $20-500 million.

The study found that 69% of surveyed small businesses and 71% of mid-size businesses were either uncertain about, or are not expecting a recession in 2025.

On the contrary, both small and mid-size businesses felt more confident about the national economy — 55% of small businesses felt confident, a 12% increase, and 65% of mid-size businesses felt confident, up from 31%.

While most businesses surveyed aren’t concerned about a recession, 19% are concerned about potential international tariffs, and 17% (up 8% from last year) are concerned about China’s trade policies.

The number one concern pointed out by small and midsize businesses (46%) is labor shortages, retention, and recruiting.

Energy Givers vs. Energy Takers

A WAKE-UP CALL FOR BUSY PROFESSIONALS

BY ANDREA ‘ANDEE’ HOIG

My wake-up call hit me like a ton of bricks this past fall in 2024. I had been going, going, going like the Energizer bunny for so long that it felt “normal.” As my health, energy, and overall capacity as a leader had slowly been deteriorating, I realized I had to do something. But here’s the vulnerable truth: as odd as this may sound, I wasn’t sure what to do. I couldn’t slow down or take my foot off the gas. My fear was everything would implode, and as we were soon entering the 50th anniversary of this business my father founded in 1975 –where I now serve as publisher and CEO – I was seriously questioning if I would even live through 2025 to celebrate this incredible milestone.

The timing of this realization, as we wrapped up 2024 and looked ahead to 2025, feels particularly significant. There’s something powerful about a new year that invites us to pause, reflect, and reset. But this isn’t about making another set of soon-to-be-forgotten resolutions. This is about fundamental change – the kind that comes when you realize that everything you’ve worked so hard to build could crumble if you don’t first take care of its foundation: you.

Looking back, I could see that I had fallen into a pattern of living in the energy-taker space, a pattern that had sneakily taken root during COVID-19. Like many of you reading this, I found myself on autopilot, barely noticing how my daily choices were affecting my overall well-being. Sound familiar?

Let’s be direct. As business professionals, particularly those in leadership positions, we often prioritize our organizations’ success over our personal well-being. We normalize working at an unsustainable pace, view exhaustion as a badge of honor, and convince ourselves this is the price of success. I know because I’ve lived it.

This realization led me to my biggest commitment for 2025: making health and wellness my absolute No. 1 priority. Why? Because I’ve finally understood that our health impacts our wealth – and I’m not just talking about money. True wealth encompasses our energy levels, our mental clarity, our emotional resilience, and our ability to show up fully in both our professional and personal lives.

As part of Midland Business Journal’s weekly series “Healthy Body, Healthy Business,” we’ll be taking regular check-ins to assess where we are in our wellness journey. Today, let’s start by understanding the concept of energy givers and energy takers, and how they affect every aspect of our lives.

Energy givers:

Core elements of sustainable success

These are the activities and choices that build resilience and capacity:

• Strategic physical activity that energizes rather than depletes

• Focused time for mental clarity and strategic thinking

• Meaningful connections that strengthen both personal and professional relationships

• Purposeful rest and recovery

Energy takers: Barriers to sustainable performance

These are the patterns that compromise effectiveness:

• Reactive work patterns that fragment attention and focus

• Inadequate recovery time between high-intensity periods

• Persistent stress from poor boundaries and overcommitment

• Digital overload and constant connectivity

The COVID connection

Like many of us, I noticed that during the COVID years, the line between energy givers and takers became blurry. Work-from-home meant always being “on.” Virtual meetings replaced genuine human connection. The uncertainty of the times led many of us to develop coping mechanisms that, while they helped us survive then, are now holding us back from thriving.

ANDREA “ANDEE” HOIG, PUBLISHER/CEO MIDLANDS BUSINESS JOURNAL

Moving forward

As we begin 2025, this weekly series will examine practical strategies for sustainable leadership and personal effectiveness. We’ll focus on:

• Evidence-based wellness strategies and approaches to energy management

• Success stories from local business leaders who’ve transformed their health and their companies

• Expert insights from Omaha’s top health and business professionals

• Practical tips that fit seamlessly into your busy schedule

• Strategies for fostering employee well-being and engagement

• Championing community wellness through local fitness events and races

• Featuring guest columnists sharing transformative personal and professional journeys

Each week, we’ll share real experiences from leaders who’ve faced similar challenges and found their path to sustainable success. These stories will remind us that change is possible and provide practical blueprints for our own transformations.

The question of legacy

Consider what’s truly at stake. This isn’t merely about personal wellbeing — it’s about sustainable leadership and lasting impact. What good is building a legacy if we are unable to lead it forward?

We are here to experience all that life has to offer. What we have chosen to do and be should bring us joy, feed our souls, energize us, and inspire others.

The time for change is now. Join me in redefining what successful leadership looks like in 2025 and beyond.

How to Review a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)

For those unfamiliar with the process, reviewing an FDD is one of the most crucial stages in the franchise due diligence cycle. The FDD is a document divided into 23 sections (Items), the contents of which must be updated and filed by each franchisor on an annual basis and are subject to oversight from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

An FDD Defined

The FDD is a comprehensive document outlining the basic details, systems, and operations of a particular franchise opportunity. It also contains disclosures on all fees and royalties, territorial rights, pending legal issues, and a clear definition of the roles and responsibilities of franchisor and franchisee alike. Reviewing the FDD requires a disciplined approach, as your understanding of its contents will help you make an informed decision about becoming a franchisee.

FDD – An Outline

As mentioned, the FDD contains 23 Items, and a breakdown of the most important sections include:

Items 1 & 2 – includes the details, history, and executive leadership of the franchisor

Items 7 – Estimated all-in initial investment to get the business off the ground.

Item 13-14 – includes all information on trademarks, patents, and intellectual property

Item 19 – (Optional for Franchisors) Financial Performance Representations for franchisees within the system.

Item 20 – discloses the number of existing franchise units, both individual and corporate-owned Exhibit – The actual Franchise Agreement which every new franchise owner signs.

Although nearly all sections of these highly regulated documents are non-negotiable, seeking professional assistance from either a licensed franchise attorney and/or Accountant should ensure additional peace of mind. Afterall, an FDD is a key component of both parties having to put all of their cards on the table for an honest and transparent look at whether or not you’ll proceed with the investment.

THE FRANCHISEE:

Q&A:

Tell us about the business model of your franchise:

True North Restoration offers the unique ability to take a proven business model and lets the franchisee run their location with full autonomy. We have weekly owners’ meetings, as well as monthly meetings with corporate leadership. We are required to use a couple computer programs for documentation purposes and pay a franchise royalty fee and a national ad campaign fee.

Why did you choose this industry?

We chose this industry because we have been through our own water loss and between our experience and hearing others’ stories we wanted to be a different type of restoration company built on empathy, efficiency and follow-through. We knew we would be able to help families and businesses through their situation by being a company they could trust to not only efficiently handle the work, but also offer fair and competitive pricing.

Why did you choose this franchise?

True North Restoration has a strong leadership team with values that line up with ours. Owners meetings begin with prayer and between the leadership team and other owners, we felt like there would be free flowing knowledge and expertise. They have a strong culture of love and support for each other and their communities, and we wanted to be a part of the family.

What was the process of starting your franchise?

In the very beginning we had several initial interviews and calls with corporate to make sure we were a good fit for each other. After accepting the invitation to join the True North family we met with lawyers, accountants, banks and other business professionals within the company’s network and locally. The ability to sit down with current owners in their homes and businesses has proven very valuable for relationship and knowledge building. We also went through online and in-person training with the IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification), which is the governing body for restoration companies.

What challenges have you faced?

The biggest challenges we have faced have been having a steady workflow and managing the day-to-day tasks that each unique situation presents. Due to the nature of the industry we see a large influx of losses when severe weather comes through and it can be difficult to know exactly how to be staffed appropriately to handle both the slow times and busy times in the community. We also spent time around Tampa, Florida, helping with hurricane relief with several of the other True North locations to serve the communities deeply impacted this year. These homes were nearly total losses and lives were uprooted and possibly changed forever. We were thankful to be able to help, and grateful for the opportunity to assist the families and other owners who live in the area.

What have been your biggest wins?

Our biggest win this year has been our customer base. We have been very fortunate to have such great customers when you think about all of the reasons we were in their homes, and none of them were voluntary or born out of the need for a relationship. Despite being in homes due to some sort of loss, our customers have invited us back for coffee, fed us on numerous occasions, hugged and told us what a Godsend we were and even given us pies to take to Thanksgiving gatherings.

How have you grown?

From a business standpoint, we have grown in our confidence and abilities. We have become much faster at identifying root causes of losses and more efficient at remediation. Personally, from an owner’s perspective on growth, we have grown in our abilities to manage expectations through what can be chaotic at times and remain calm to make sure that our clients know that everything is going to be OK.

What does the future hold?

The future for True North Restoration of Omaha-Elkhorn looks bright and we look forward to growing in size and capacity. We are looking to find our niche in the community in 2025 and also look to have employees with specific and fine-tuned abilities that will not only enable their success, but also lead to a better experience for the client. We plan on accomplishing this through more training and certifications with the IICRC and eventually earning our Master Water Restorers designation.

Will History Repeat?

Worker productivity is on the rise, and it’s not because of artificial intelligence – yet. This is important to help solving some key problems, particularly inflation and our federal deficit. In fact, the last time the US had a balanced budget was in 2001 towards the end of the dot-com boom. The internet didn’t do all the work, but it played a key role alongside reduced government spending.

As Mark Twain once said, history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

Worker productivity is total economic output divided by the number of hours worked. Essentially, it is economic nirvana – growth without triggering inflation. The good news is that it’s been on the rise for the first time in years. Preliminary estimates showed that 3Q labor productivity rose 2% from a year ago, which would make it the fifth straight quarter of growth at or above 2%. In the five years leading up to the pandemic, it averaged just 1.6%, including a low of 0.6% during the 4Q15. While there is no clear explanation, one economist attributes it to the worker reshuffling that occurred after the pandemic. In short, people are just better matched to their jobs today.

Additionally, a little goes a long way. In the chart above, the Congressional Budget Office assumes total productivity growth of just 1.1% annually.

Raising this by just a half a percentage point has a profound impact on its long-term projections, as shown in the chart above.

Prior booms in productivity pushed this metric to 3.5% to 4%. Considering the massive amount of investment being made in AI and how it has the potential to improve all industries, we believe that these types of numbers could be reached once again.

QUINN TEXMO

Bio:

Quinn Texmo has spent her career championing the construction industry as a place for everyone, regardless of gender, nationality, or sexual orientation. She is an active member of the Commerical Real Estate Women (CREW) Omaha Metro group, which honored her commitment in 2019 with the Impact Award. She has also held board positions with Lutheran Family Services, and the Women’s Fund of Omaha Circles group. The Midlands Business Journal named Texmo a 40 Under 40 recipient in 2017 for her exceptional contributions to Omaha.

Questions:

You’ve spent the last decade in various leadership positions in Omaha. Your current position is manager of community and citizenship at Turner Construction. What does your current role entail?

I’m so fortunate to have such an incredible position. In this role, I oversee four pillars of Turner’s community engagement: minority & small business, workforce development, student engagement, and volunteer & service. With small business engagement, we work with small businesses in construction to understand their company, capacity, and growth goals.

A friend or family member is coming to Omaha for the first time. Where are you taking them for food and entertainment?

I would give my guest an option; we are either going to Acadian Grille and Bar for what I would argue is the best chicken sandwich in Omaha, or Twisted Cork for salmon tacos that will change their life. You cannot go wrong with either option. After that, I would take them straight to a Union Omaha soccer match. This professional sport is relatively new to Omaha, but the feeling of community among fans at those matches is unreal. Finally, since we’d already be in the Sarpy County area, we’d have to stop by Graley’s for some ice cream.

Omaha Inland Port Authority

VOTE BREAKS LOGJAM ON $90M BUSINESS PARK PROJECT

BY: CINDY GONZALEZ, NEBRASKA EXAMINER. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED JANUARY 2, 2025 ON NEBRASKAEXAMINER.COM

Omaha’s Inland Port Authority board on Jan. 2, 2025, approved the release of nearly $7.4 million in state funds to help a development team assess if a long-sought $90 million business park project near Nebraska’s largest airport is viable.

The action breaks a logjam on a grant announced a year ago by Gov. Jim Pillen. The funds at the time were awarded to a team led by the Omaha Economic Development Corporation for creating a shovel-ready site intended to be a major industrial and job hub for North Omaha.

Funding, however, has been held up by the Inland Port Authority, which governs a 300-acre site where the business park would rise. Some members of the nine-person port board believed the OEDC-led group hadn’t provided the board enough financial and other details for its plan that targets a 160-acre site west of Omaha’s Eppley Airfield and north of Carter Lake.

Compromise meant to move forward

The green light on the nearly $7.4 million allotment was seen as a compromise of sorts. Board members said the money would pay for pre-development research — including an assessment of whether enough contiguous private property can be assembled voluntarily to prepare the site expected to lure new jobs and industry to one of the most neglected areas of the state.

The remainder of the nearly $90 million grant will be on hold until the Inland Port Authority reviews the research done over the next six months to a year.

Controversy over the development group’s proposal has swirled for more than a year — in part because of uncertainty early on over whether some homeowners in the area might be forced out by eminent domain.

OEDC Executive Director Michael Maroney, whose development team for the park includes Burlington Capital and the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, has said more recently that the power of eminent domain would not be used. About 140 property owners are in the target area site, including homeowners, businesses and those who own lots, Maroney said.

“I’m just glad to finally be able to start,” Maroney said following the vote.

Said Burlington’s George Achola: “Now we’ll do the hard digging.”

SHOWN HERE IS A 160-ACRE SITE OF A BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK ENVISIONED WEST OF EPPLEY AIRFIELD AND NORTH OF CARTER LAKE. THIS TRACT IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE LARGER BOUNDARIES OF OMAHA’S INLAND PORT AUTHORITY DISTRICT. (COURTESY OF LAMP RYNEARSON)

Some have ‘zero faith’

State Sen. Terrell McKinney of North Omaha, who chairs the nine-member port board, was the lone vote against disbursing the first multimillion installment. Vice Chair Davielle Phillips abstained; six other board members present supported the move.

McKinney said he won’t “beat a dead horse,” but that he remained opposed to the developer and supportive of the business park.

“I have zero faith they’re going to do the right thing,” McKinney said of the OEDC-led partnership.

McKinney has said the group previously received $400,000 to research and create a plan for a business park — the largest single project funded from roughly $400 million appropriated by the Legislature for North and South Omaha economic recovery initiatives following the COVID-19 pandemic.

The funding stream for the business park effort has since shifted from federal American Rescue Plan Act funding to state funds, a move that allowed more flexibility in the timeline to prepare the site.

Joe Higgins, a neighborhood leader, said that while he and others remain wary of how the project might gel, he saw the action as positive. He said the results could bring clarity for homeowners who have been on edge about what might come of their homes and neighborhood.

“People are tired of the indecision,” Higgins said, saying that many area residents have “disengaged” and stopped participating in community meetings as discussions have dragged out.

Community member Cheryl Weston spoke in opposition to releasing funding, calling the development team’s proposal “out in the air.”

A historical view

The business park idea has a history.

While a focal point of 2022 legislation, talk about such a project to spark revitalization in North Omaha goes back farther.

Around 2012, under the administration of Mayor Jim Suttle, the City of Omaha eyed a site as a potential home for companies that would get rare access to big industrial work space within a short drive from the city’s downtown commercial district.

That potential site — west of Carter Lake and bounded by Locust Street on the south and 16th Street on the west — was eventually abandoned in light of environmental remediation costs.

A year ago, Pillen and Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert held a media event to announce the nearly $90 million grant award to the OEDC-led team.

The OEDC, in a 47-page “master plan” outlined the 160-acre site west of Eppley and north of Carter Lake as a preferred site. It also identified the site that was earlier abandoned by the city, though the development team said it was a second choice.

The Legislature later passed legislation requiring a letter of support from the Omaha Inland Port Authority before the business park project could move forward within the Authority’s boundaries. The city’s first-ever Inland Port Authority board, which was created under a new state law, was assembled last summer to guide development in that swath of northeast Omaha.

The board members, appointed by Omaha’s mayor, provide more local oversight and have various powers, including the ability to issue revenue bonds for construction.

Last August, the Inland Port Authority denied a letter of support to the OEDC-led group and has since discussed whether to release an installment for pre-development work.

Achola said the vote breaks a “logjam.” He said the nearly $7.4 million allows the development team to assess the viability of sites outlined in the 47-page master plan, which he described more as a conceptual plan. Achola called the interim step prudent.

“It’s a complex project we’re dealing with,” he said.
