Values & History

Founded in 2016 by Amy and Ben Wright, who have children with Down syndrome (Bitty and Beau), the company started in Wilmington, North Carolina. The brand was created to address the 80% unemployment rate among individuals with IDD. Their core values center around promoting human value, creating inclusive workplaces, and demonstrating that people with disabilities can be successful employees while delivering excellent customer service. The company has gained national recognition for its social impact and business model.

Industry Performance

The specialty coffee industry continues to show strong growth, particularly for businesses with distinctive brand identities and social missions. The sector benefits from increasing consumer preference for socially conscious businesses and quality coffee experiences. The combination of specialty coffee and social enterprise creates a unique market position, appealing to consumers who prioritize businesses with purpose-driven missions alongside quality products.

The franchise provides comprehensive training encompassing coffee preparation, store operations, and their unique inclusive employment model. Support includes specialized training for working with employees with IDD, operational systems implementation, marketing strategies, and ongoing business guidance. Franchisees receive assistance with hiring practices, staff development, and maintaining brand standards while fulfilling the social mission of the business.
