Cafe2U wants to grow franchisee network in U.S. from Central Oregon.
If Lee Johns has his way, in five years at least 1,000 Cafe2U vans will be delivering high-end coffee to consumers across the United States.
The nation’s first, sporting bright red paint, coffee bean graphics and the company logo, began making deliveries in Bend in September.
Johns, president of Cafe2U Inc., believes the company is the first in the country to employ a mobile coffee business model. The company’s drivers travel to customers, rather than wait for them to show up at a bricks-and-mortar café, and brew up fresh drinks from a machine in the van.
And it’s not just drip coffee the drivers peddle. More.
