Scooter's Coffee has signed a franchise agreement for 31 new locations in North Carolina and Virginia with Boddie-Noell Enterprises.
The menu features all the chain-Mexican staples from tacos to burritos (including breakfast varieties) to nachos to fajitas. There's a torta sandwich and chimichangas, shrimp cocktails and then birria, served as quesabirria tacos and ramen and something called "pizzabirria." That would be an 8-inch flour tortilla dipped in chile broth with cheese and beef. Desserts include flan with ice cream, an Oreo shake and a "churro delight" - churros with vanilla ice cream and chocolate stuffed into a cup.
Franchise-focused private equity firm Franchise Equity Partners (FEP) announced it acquired a majority stake in 7 Crew, the second-largest franchisee of the fast-growing U.S. coffee chain 7 Brew. With the deal, FEP said it is following through on plans to open more than 200 7 Brew drive-through locations across Texas, Florida, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Existing 7 Crew investors Masked Rider Capital and Red Sky Holdings are retaining significant equity stakes in 7 Crew, which currently operates approximately 50 7 Brew locations,
