Created in response to growing interest from aspiring franchise owners seeking a lower-cost entry point into business ownership, the Mini Cruiser combines the power of the Bitty & Beau's Coffee brand with a simplified operational model and a significantly lower investment than a traditional brick-and-mortar location.

"The Mini Cruiser allows more entrepreneurs to join our mission while bringing meaningful employment and powerful human connection to communities everywhere."
Since opening its first coffee shop in Wilmington, North Carolina, Bitty & Beau's Coffee has grown into a nationally recognized movement with 25 locations across the United States and more than 500 people with disabilities employed throughout its system. The company has been featured by CNN, NBC's Today Show, Good Morning America, People Magazine, Forbes, and Harvard Business Review for its groundbreaking approach to inclusion.
The Mini Cruiser franchise offers owners:
- Lower startup costs compared to traditional coffee shops
- Flexible operating schedules and event-based revenue opportunities
- A streamlined menu and simplified daily operations
- Exclusive protected territories
- Comprehensive training and ongoing support
- The opportunity to build a business with purpose and impact
Designed for entrepreneurs, families, community leaders, and mission-driven business owners, the Mini Cruiser provides a unique opportunity to generate income while helping change the way people see people with disabilities.
"Every Mini Cruiser that hits the road expands our ability to create jobs, spark conversations, and remind people that everyone deserves to be seen, valued, and included," said Ben Wright. "This is much more than coffee. It's a movement on wheels."
Franchise opportunities are currently available in select markets throughout the United States.
