        Find out how the Bottoms Up Espresso business model gives our owners the tools for growth in the coffee franchise industry!

        People know good coffee and a winning concept when they discover it. When they find a business built with those ideas in mind, they often become loyal customers for life. Bottoms Up Espresso has designed our coffee franchise with that concept as a guide.

        We began with a simple idea: serve high-quality, custom-roasted, small-batch coffee in an engaging atmosphere that draws in customers and makes them want to return.

        We opened our first location in Modesto, California in 2011, and our fast-paced, welcoming atmosphere and appealing concept immediately connected with our customers.

        Today, Bottoms Up Espresso has 13 locations across California, and we’ve got big plans for the future as we prepare to expand our coffee franchise opportunity. We’ve built a franchise model geared for growth, and we’re ready to bring our brand to communities nationwide.
