I Thought About Buying Into This Franchise
A distant relative of mine, so distant we've never met, owns two Human Bean locations in Coos Bay, Oregon. A number of years ago I was in Coos Bay and visited one of their shops. The coffee is absolutely incredible. In my opinion, their products are a few steps above other major coffee chains.
After visiting that shop in Coos Bay, I gave serious thought to opening a franchise in Grand Junction. The endeavor didn't go far, but for a while, at least, it was on the table. This prospect, like most others in my life, lacked one important element - money.
How Much Does It Cost To Launch One Of These Businesses?
Looking at The Human Bean's official webpage, costs to start a franchise range from $346,825-$835,225 depending on the site development specifics of your location.
Looking Forward To Their Grand Opening
The website for the new locations says, "Coming Soon." With that in mind, we have something to look forward to in 2023.
