Aroma Joe\u2019s, one of the nation\u2019s fastest-growing, handcrafted-beverage franchises, recently expanded its operations in Southwest Florida.<\/p>\n

Originally located primarily in the Northeast, Aroma Joe\u2019s is expanding across the Sunshine State with the opening of two new Southwest Florida locations in the past month.<\/p>\n

The North Fort Myers Aroma Joe\u2019s location is at 18961 Del Tura Plaza Lane, just off U.S. 41. The other location is in Port Charlotte at 16400 Franklin Ave.<\/p>\n

Aroma Joe\u2019s opened a Cape Coral location \u2014- 4320 Del Prado Blvd. S \u2014- in February.<\/p>\n

Franchise partner Bob Brennan, a retired car dealer from Maine, says he likes people. So when his friends started the business, he and his partner Aaron Wiswell were interested in joining them and expanding into the south.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided to bring the happiness to Florida,\u201d Brennan said. \u201cI worked in Florida and Cape Coral for 25 years. I know the business and the location and started building. We have three (now) and (we) just want to keep rocking.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 1,590-square-foot location will employ approximately 18 to 20 people, support continued economic growth and deliver handcrafted beverages, specialty coffee and Aroma Joe\u2019s signature AJ\u2019s RUSH energy drinks or maybe even a FroJoe.<\/p>\n

In addition to the signature drinks, food options include breakfast sandwiches, soft pretzels, cinnamon rolls and donuts for both breakfast and afternoon snacks.<\/p>\n

Many coffee houses are being built right now, some of them drive-thrus only. Aroma Joe\u2019s also has a walk-in service that allows you to come in, sit down, relax and maybe even have some fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes us different? We make us different,\u201d Brennan said. \u201cWe have friendly service. You talk to a person when you order, and you talk to (a person) when you pick (your order) up \u2014- not a box,\u201d Brennan said. \u201cThe kids we hire have a blast. It\u2019s a fun atmosphere and that translates to the customer. At the end of the day, people will do business with people they like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 2000, Aroma Joe\u2019s now has 137 locations across Maine \u2014- where it is headquartered \u2014- New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, and Florida.<\/p>\n

They are currently planning to open new stores along the East Coast.<\/p>\n

No matter how many stores Aroma Joe\u2019s opens, it will always concentrate on customer service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you come and visit us, you\u2019re going to be part of the family. That\u2019s just the way it is,\u201d Brennan said. \u201cWe know your name when you come into the parking lot. That\u2019s how we do it in New England. That\u2019s how we do it here. We\u2019re happy to have you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aroma Joe\u2019s is open daily from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, visit\u00a0aromajoes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
