Abby discovered Bad Ass Coffee while studying franchising at the University and shared her excitement with Doug, who was equally impressed by the brand’s family values and welcoming Aloha Spirit. Together, they aim to create a community hub where customers can relax and connect.

“This venture has been especially meaningful because it’s something Abby and I are building together,” said Doug Epperly. “Her passion for franchising and our shared appreciation for the brand’s values made this a perfect fit. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where people can slow down, enjoy a great cup of coffee, and feel at home.”
