Cuppy's Coffee & More, Inc. was a privately owned specialty coffee franchise. The firm marketed franchise opportunities on its website and describes a comprehensive, 10-day training program for its franchisees (6 days at its headquarters, 4 days onsite). The firm employed approximately 145 employees at its corporate headquarters in Fort Walton Beach, Florida before moving to Altoona, PA in September, 2008. Cuppy's, along with Java Jo'z national chain folded in 2009. However, former franchisees still continue to use the name in their shops.

Products

Cuppy's specialized in Espresso based drinks such as the Latte and Americano. The coffee and espresso beverages at Cuppy's reportedly used a custom blend of Caffé D’arte beans and featured flavorings from Ghirardelli and Monin. Cuppy's also advertised smoothies made with "100% real fruit". In addition to the coffee and smoothies, Cuppy's also offered a variety of products such as italian sodas, biscotti, chocolate covered espresso beans, pastries and sandwiches. In its late-2007 listing on Entrepreneur.com, Cuppy's reported 37 franchise locations.[1]

Corporation
