About Scooter's Coffee

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Over time, Scooter’s Coffee cultivated and nourished strong emotional ties with our farmers, employees, franchisees, baristas, customers, and suppliers. It’s these ties that make up the very fabric of our brand and capture the magical essence of who we are and what we stand for....There’s Just Something About Scooter’s Coffee. The very first Scooter’s Coffee location was known as “Scooter’s Java Express.” We named it “Scooter’s” after reviewing a list of options including “Scooter.” The name fit well with our mission to keep customers happy by helping them “scoot in and scoot out” quickly.
