Dunn Bros Coffee was founded by Ed Dunn in 1987. In college, he took note of the success of coffeehouses in certain areas of the country. To gain a deeper grasp of the industry, Ed Dunn immersed himself in the food service industry and coffee-related retail work.

Particularly, in December of 1987, Ed opened his first coffeehouse with the help of his brother, Dan, in St. Paul, Minnesota. The two decided to open the Dunn Bros Coffee in St. Paul because the area was similar to Portland, Oregon--another area of the country with a large coffee-drinking population.

Dunn Bros Coffee is a coffee franchise spreading across the Midwest. Dunn Bros Coffee has locations in Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. With a team of friendly staff, they are looking to expand across the country.

Do not compare a Dunn Bros Coffee franchise to a Starbucks franchise. Dunn Bros Coffee has become particularly well known for on-site roasting. Ed had an accurate vision that the coffee drinker was enthralled by the smell of fresh coffee. If you are an entrpreneur looking for the next coffee franchise that will take the country by storm, Dunn Bros Coffee is it. Unlike Starbucks, who has yet to perfect on-site roasting, Dunn Bros Coffee is a franchise that has not saturated the market. They still have immense room for growth.

And, as already mentioned, their team of friendly staff works as one unit to ensure the successful launch of any new Dunn Bros Coffee franchise. If you are interested in the successful launch of your own Dunn Bros Coffee franchise, their contact information is as follows:
