Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii’s store expansion is heating up, in its headquarters state and beyond.
The company’s roots date back to 1989 when it operated coffee shops and kiosks on the Big Island of Hawaii, as well as coffee carts in major tourist areas on several other islands. Bad Ass Coffee, which sells premium Hawaiian coffees as well as blended drinks, signature lattes, cold brews, teas, foods with a Hawaiian twist and branded merchandise, jumped into franchising in the late 1990s.
The brand was acquired by Denver-based Royal Aloha Coffee Co. which relocated the company’s headquarters to Colorado and crafted its long-term franchise expansion strategy, which calls for the opening of 150 locations during the next five years.
They are planning to open three new locations here. Stores in Colorado Springs and Pagosa Springs will open in the first quarter of 2023, followed by a new Denver location. This will bring our Colorado store count to four locations.
