Ellianos Coffee Coming Soon in Pearson, Georgia

Pearson, Georgia (October 20, 2026) – Ellianos Coffee, a southeast-based drive-thru specialty coffee brand, is thrilled to announce a new location coming soon to Pearson, Georgia. The new drive-thru will be located at 1155 Hwy 441 N, Pearson, GA 31642, bringing Ellianos Coffee's signature handcrafted beverages, fast service, and community-focused approach to Atkinson County.

The franchise will be owned and operated by Matthew and Holly Tanner, well-established business owners in the region who have operated Morris Drugs for the past 13 years and have built businesses across Pearson, Homerville, and Waycross. For Matthew, this one is personal — Pearson is his hometown, where he grew up, went to school, and now serves the community as the town's pharmacist. His family has called Pearson home for generations, making this investment a deeply meaningful milestone.

"Pearson is home for us," said Matthew and Holly Tanner. "I grew up here, graduated from school here, and now have the privilege of serving the community as the town's pharmacist. My family has called Pearson home for generations, so bringing a new business to this community is personal for us. We're proud to invest in the place that has given so much to our family and excited to help bring another option for local residents."

The Tanners have been working toward this moment since 2020, making the upcoming opening especially rewarding after years of planning and dedication.

"We're extremely excited to finally bring Ellianos to Pearson," they shared. "This has been a multi-year venture for us, with planning and conversations going all the way back to 2020, so seeing it come together is especially meaningful. We're looking forward to opening the doors, serving the community, and introducing something we've worked toward for several years."

What drew the Tanners to Ellianos was the brand's already strong presence and reputation in the area, paired with a menu that they believe stands among the best in the business.

"Ellianos is already a well-known and respected brand in Pearson and the surrounding communities, so we believe bringing an established name to the area gives us a strong foundation for success," Matthew and Holly said. "We also believe Ellianos offers some of the best food and drink options in the business, and we're excited to make those products more convenient for our local community."

"We are so excited to welcome Matthew and Holly to the Ellianos family," said an Ellianos Coffee spokesperson. "They bring exactly the kind of deep community roots and business experience that makes an Ellianos location thrive. Pearson is gaining two owners who have poured their lives into this community and we cannot wait to see what they build there."
