Really Awesome Coffee franchisee launches third van after less than a year
Published: 09 February 2018
Really Awesome Coffee’s franchise partner for Milton Keynes has launched his third van just nine months after starting.
Working in retail for the majority of his career in various management roles, Mike Paice approached the mobile café franchise after deciding he wanted to become his own boss and reap the rewards of his hard work. More specifically, he wanted his own multi-vehicle franchise.
Mike says: “I worked in retail for years, had a long commute and worked long hours. I finally decided to make the jump into becoming my own boss, which has been the best thing I have ever done. I love coffee, and the concept and branding of Really Awesome Coffee really stood out to me.
“After discussing my goals and idea of a multi-vehicle franchise with the team, I felt fully supported and reassured that this was the right franchise for me. I haven’t looked back since.”
Coming from a non-café background, Mike went through Really Awesome Coffee’s fast-track training and launch programme, where he received all of his franchise training including the professional barista course and in-field coaching. He successfully launched his first Really Awesome Coffee franchise van in Milton Keynes at the end of February 2017 with the help of the franchise development team.
Mike adds: “It’s no secret I’ve been working hard. I am used to working with people but the Really Awesome Coffee team have been instrumental in my success and helped me build my rounds on both vehicles. The information has been invaluable and the support team are fantastic.”
Mike has consistently surpassed every target since his launch and is on track to smash his first year’s goals in record time. He is also planning for a fourth van to be launched in 2018 with his continued rapid expansion.
