Gloria Jean’s Coffees

We operate Gloria Jean’s Coffees retail stores and kiosks that serve gourmet coffees, teas, coffee-based beverages, baked goods, and a select range of related supplies, accessories, and gifts. Our stores are designed for customers looking for specialty coffee drinks and quick-service food and beverage items in convenient locations. We mainly operate in leased spaces, including drive-thru sites, suburban lifestyle centers, strip centers, malls, office buildings, and other high-traffic locations. Our kiosks are built for smaller spaces and focus primarily on coffee drinks and other beverages with a limited menu of approved items. Each location follows a standardized format, with consistent signage, equipment, layout, systems, and operating procedures.
