Coffee Shop Executive Summary

Business Overview

Java Bros Coffee Shop will be a locally established coffee shop located in Austin, Texas. The brainchild of two talented brothers with an entrepreneurial spirit, Joey and Max Smith are ready to emerge into opening their own coffee shop. Java Bros will pride itself on only offering coffee roasted by Texas coffee roasters and growers and only serve bakery items made fresh by local Austin bakeries.

While the menu will be small and simple, the time and attention given to everything they will serve makes Java Bros truly unique when looking for quality coffee. Their exceptional customer service will allow for customers coming back and allowing them to develop a strong reputation with its clients.
