Southern Grounds Coffee - Franchise

Our Story

In addition to serving simple, whole, and minimally processed food, we have expanded our definition of healthy to include a larger philosophy that embraces things like giving back to the community, cultivating a culture of kindness, and supporting vendors and farmers who are mindful of the environment. We have formed an alliance with local architects (Group 4, Cronk+Duch) and artists (Blanton Sisters, Stellers Gallery) to provide the customer a feel for local design, art, and artists. We are proud recipients of the Slow Food® Snail of Approval award for our unwavering commitment to quality and community.

Why Franchise With Southern Grounds?

What sets us apart from traditional coffee franchises is our overall model and franchisee support. We feel our brand has changed not only the "quality" conversation about coffee and sustainable foods but also our purpose as a franchisor. Through our vendor relationships, training, and ongoing support teams, and our constant commitment to improvement, we are confident that we will continue to pave the way for successful franchisor and franchisee relationships.

By investing in a franchise opportunity with Southern Grounds, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. With 7 years of profitable operations, we have a proven system that equips franchisees with the knowledge and expertise to maintain the highest standards and best-in-class operations. Our strong framework ensures you have ongoing support and resources to succeed as owner-operators. Our goal as a franchisor is to help you as a franchise company optimize sales and profits, connect with the community, and teach you to become hospitality professionals. We feel our franchisees do more than run a coffee shop in their community; they live there too. 

Franchisee Program Support

We are creating a boutique franchise offering of curated community coffee houses. Upon becoming a  Franchisee of Southern Grounds, our network of highly trained, experienced, award-winning professionals is available to help you succeed.  

Franchising Southern Grounds has always been part of our growth strategy. We have a leadership team that has ensured we built the resources and processes necessary to support ALL franchisees. Before launching the franchising initiative, we wanted our brand to be successful in numerous communities.  From our humble beginning in Neptune Beach, Florida, to our stores in San Marco, Florida, and the  Avondale community in Jacksonville, we have built a great customer base and a history of strong financial performance. This provides new franchisees a much-needed boost of confidence and ensures their own success in each respective community. 

Upon partnering with the very mature global restaurateur HMSHOST (Autogrill Group), we grew tremendously as a company. The process of licensing and training with HMSHOST provided the Southern Grounds leadership team the knowledge and confidence to roll out our Southern Grounds franchise program. We are now in the process of opening 2 more corporate locations, as well as our second International Airport location with HMSHOST. Finally, we awarded our first Franchise Territory of 9 units and anticipate the opening of 6-7 more stores in the next year. Our franchisees have access to all our designers, so each Southern Grounds location will be unique and memorable.
