About Our Business
Why a Drive Thru?
All around the world, people are accustomed to starting their day with some
form of a caffeinated beverage. Bad coffee, "Diet Coke", tea and (fortunately)
specialty coffee drinks are part of virtually every American's morning routine.
We find in this industry that 75% - 80% of all specialty coffee sales occur
before noon.
Usually the last to arrive in the market place as a concept for retailing
espresso is the drive-thru. The reason for this is that first the market has to
become aware of the product and a tremendous demand developed. As the
market matures with multiple espresso bars and carts the customer begins
to make espresso and specialty coffee drinks a priority stop as they go
through their daily routines.
The first espresso drive-thrus were basically converted "Foto-Mat" booths or
converted fast food restaurants. Now the health department guidelines are
much stricter. Today's drive-thrus are more like a miniature espresso
restaurant with a bathroom, three compartment sinks, multiple refrigerators,
dry storage, pastry display, drip coffee machines and blenders and
espresso machines.
So, why a drive-thru? Can it compete against the “big boys?” Statistically a
drive-thru has greater potential than a typical Espresso Bar or an Espresso
Cafe'.
With the Fox Hollow Coffee you get super premium coffee products.
