FUELING SUCCESS
Fueling the modern world by Focusing daily on the customer, The community, and the cup.
H i s t o r y It all started in East Rochester, New Hampshire with four cousins who had a passion for coffee and a very simple idea: Serve wicked good coffee... Fast and friendly. Marty, Brian, Tim, and Mike saw a coffee industry bogged down by poor quality, loud drive-thru intercoms and impersonal service. From their first coffee kiosk until today, their goal has been to serve coffee that will make your day! Their constant drive to lead the coffee industry with lean, efficient, double drive-thru locations has created a large and loyal following of fans. Aroma Joe s remains the leader on innovative, new beverages, fresh snacks, and a unique style of customer service that is beyond reproach. We are eager to have our family grow and have no intention of slowing down. We will continue to focus on delivering the highest standards, one customer, community, and cup at a time. On every visit, you will be greeted with a smile, given warm attention, be served a perfectly prepared beverage, and you will drive away as a loyal family friend. From our Aroma Joe s family to yours...
A b o u t COFFEE IS JUST THE BEGINNING of what we offer our customers. We really step it up with our specialty espresso drinks and our signature energy drink combinations. We handcraft every drink using only our high-quality ingredients, made to order... That is our standard. If coffee flavors are not your thing, we have a long list of over 50 flavor infusions with our proprietary AJs RUSH energy drink, fresh iced teas, italian sodas, and an array of other beverages ready for your own individual taste. The combinations are endless. We are at the forefront of a new era in flavor infused beverages, and Aroma Joe s is where energy and refreshment meet. Coffee, espresso, flavor infused beverages and more. Every generation of the family can find their perfect beverage at Aroma Joe s. This is our goal, it s what we work for every day, and it s what we love!

Meet Franchisee Tulio! Originally From Brazil, Tulio received his bachelor s degree in business at the Centro Universitario UNA. He graduated in 2004, and joined the Work Travel program. Tulio came to the United States with $473 in his pocket and he didn t know any English. In 2016, after living and working in Maine for 12 years, Tulio decided it was time to pursue his dream to own his own business and provide jobs. After doing some research, Tulio stumbled across Aroma Joe s and he immediately decided Aroma Joe s was a strong and positive company to join! Tulio opened his first Aroma Joe s in Auburn, Maine on February 27, 2017, and he feels that he made a great choice! Now, with about a month until we celebrate our 1st year anniversary, I feel that I made the right choice by choosing Aroma Joe s. Anytime I run into a challenge, headquarters is always there to support me! I love our product and the way we do business. Not having intercoms is huge to our customers, they absolutely love the interface as they are placing their orders and our baristas go above and beyond for our customers. That s one thing we have the ability to do better than our competitors, and I explore that as much as I can. I do all I can to make our baristas love coming into work and love what they do. I believe that part of it is the environment that they are in. We work in a place that plays music all day, is always clean, no uniforms, huge on team work, and most importantly, no drama. I love Aroma Joe s, our customers and especially our baristas. They are literally like family to us. Tulio is now searching for his 2nd Aroma Joe s location!

She then progressed to become a team leader, before moving up to the Maine and New Hampshire Development Office as a business consultant, and an Aroma Joe s Franchising Lead Trainer. Haley opened her first Aroma Joe s on December 4th, 2017. Haley says, Aroma Joe s was supposed to be a temporary nights and weekends gig until I graduated high school, but what it turned into was a career and a second family. Evolving from Barista to Owner was the ultimate accomplishment and it brings me so much pride to have a part in the success of this amazing company. I couldn t imagine life without Aroma Joe s in it!
