Franchisee Testimonials

"Look at those key competitive advantages: low inventory costs—I mean Tom’s is all beverages. You’re mobile—you’re not stuck and confined to one area where people have to come seek you out, you can go to them. And, not to mention, the royalties are pretty nice. When you don’t have to worry about keeping a percentage and paying that out each week, it’s just that fixed royalty. Make as much money as you want, and you just have to pay out that royalty."
   -  Reggie Nelson - Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee of Concord, NC Est. 2023

"On the Tom’s Truck you can specialize any drink that they want. Sometimes we go in there and they just get almost all cold drinks, with the lemonades and refreshers now. And when it’s cold, the mixture switches to a bunch of hot chocolates and hot lattes. We find a way to make everybody happy. With it being more of a premium beverage truck than just a coffee truck, it allows us to go anywhere."
   -  Bob Daleo - Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee of Wentsville, MO Est. 2022

"Bringing it to a community that doesn’t have it. Building the brand to establish in Florida and across the nation. Offering something that’s not offered anywhere near us. Being in the seat, being in the window, letting our clientele know that it’s us. And that we’re the ones that are bringing it to them, and we’re the ones that care and are going to be there."
   -  Chris & Stephanie Edwards - Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee of Bradenton Est. 2024

"The corporate office—that has all the support. We can focus on making a successful business while everything else is taken care of. Thank goodness!"
   -  Cynthia Sanchez - Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee of Heb Est. 2022
