SEATTLE, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Baristas
Coffee Company Inc. (OTC Pink: BCCI), a fast growing U.S. based
beverage and branded products company, today announced that it
has filed its UFOC Disclosure Documents, Operations Manual,
Franchise Agreements, Financials, and all required support
documentation to become registered to sell franchises in the state
of California.
This filing is subsequent to the filing to become registered in
Baristas' home state of Washington
and once approved will not only allow the Company to sell
franchises in California but will
open up the ability to become approved in other states that require
registration as well. This is the result of Baristas launching a
major expansion push through its Franchising division. As of this
date all operating locations are company owned.
Newly appointed Director of Store and Brand Development,
Mike Reynolds, stated: "This is the
beginning of a very strategic and coordinated growth plan. We
have had an influx of applications for franchises particularly in
California and look forward to
developing the region. We will also be filing in additional states
that require registration that will allow us to expand our
footprint. Baristas offers a very compelling business model and is
provides the best opportunity in franchising that I have seen in my
career and is clearly the best in its sector."
Barry Henthorn CEO commented; "California is a natural fit for the Baristas
business model and we look forward to branching into the
region. We will continue to push forward with our filings in
other states maintaining strict adherence to all regulations and
disclosure requirements. We expect this expansion and franchise
push to yield strong partners that will aid in our expansion.
We expect this to result in the opening of new franchised
locations that will increase our revenue while further decreasing
Baristas Cost of Goods Sold as a result of larger volumes in our
supply chain."
