In 1998, Don and Linda Eckles, co-founders of Scooter's Coffee & Yogurt, began an amazing journey.
After watching the development of the specialty coffee industry in California, and seeing the introduction of the drive-thru coffee concept, they became convinced that there was high potential for a very successful business model. They had a vision of coupling the
drive-thru coffee business with a commitment to a few key business principals. Having grown up in the Omaha area, they moved back to the Midwest and opened their first drive-thru coffeehouse in 1998 in Bellevue, Nebraska. Scooter's Coffee was born.
The keys to success were simple but so important: Find a great location, and stay committed to high quality drinks, speed of service, a clean store, and a big smile. The formula worked, and more stores were opened in the Omaha metro area. Don and Linda began franchising Scooter's in 2001.
As of today, Scooter's Coffee & Yogurt has expanded into 7 states, and has over 100 stores open and operating. The first store in Bellevue is still open and operating and has become a staple in that community. Scooter's success over 15 years of history is very simple: Stay committed to the original business principals and company core values. The Scooter's banner, spoken of often to franchisees, customers and employees is:
"Amazing People, Serving Amazing Drinks, Amazingly Fast" - It represents the company's business origins from 1998 and reflects a steady commitment to providing an unforgettable experience to our customers.
