Scooter’s Coffee to Celebrate Grand Opening at Historic 30th and Ames Location

Scooter’s Coffee Co-Founder Don Eckles Mentors Franchise Partner Julian Young

March 19, 2018 // Franchising.com // Omaha, Neb. - Scooter’s Coffee, a drive-thru franchise that is on track for another record-breaking year of growth, is pleased to announce the doors of its latest, and most unique, location are open for business at 2928 Ames Ave., located on the corner of 30th and Ames in Omaha. The celebration to commemorate the occasion will be held all day Friday, March 23, 2018, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. A ribbon cutting is scheduled at 12 p.m.

The 30th and Ames location is the brainchild of two of Omaha’s business leaders, Scooter’s Coffee Co-founder Don Eckles and community leader Julian Young. What started with Eckles responding to a cold call for guidance and mentorship from Young, has blossomed into a friendship, and now a partnership, that will rejuvenate a neighborhood on the verge of a rebirth.

“The Scooter’s Coffee 30th and Ames location will serve as more than just a coffeehouse,” says Julian Young, Scooter’s Coffee Franchise Partner. “The 30th and Ames coffeehouse will operate as the nucleus of the economic revitalization effort in the historic North Omaha neighborhood. The buzz surrounding this opening is nothing short of intense and the neighborhood is ready to support this project. I’m looking forward to being an agent of change in a community that I hold close to my heart. I am thankful for Scooter’s Coffee for sharing in my vision and am humbled by their willingness to entrust me with this venture.”

“This new location represents the dawn of a new era for Scooter’s Coffee and the 30th and Ames community in North Omaha,” says Don Eckles, Scooter’s Coffee co-founder. “We discuss Scooter’s Coffee being comprised of ‘Amazing People’ and that is certainly the case with Julian. His hard work and determination will serve as the perfect example to the next generation of entrepreneurs. I’m anticipating great things from Julian and this partnership.”

The grand opening celebration on Friday, March 23, will be dedicated to The Start Center - 100% of proceeds will be donated to this organization.
