Ellianos Coffee Opens Kiosk Location Inside Coffee Regional Medical Center in Douglas, Georgia
Douglas, Georgia (June 22, 2026) – Ellianos Coffee, a southeast-based drive-thru specialty coffee brand, is excited to announce the opening of its newest location, a kiosk-style cafe inside Coffee Regional Medical Center in Douglas, Georgia. This marks the seventh Ellianos Coffee location for the franchisees behind this opening, who have proudly operated Ellianos drive-thru locations for the past 15 years.
The new kiosk joins two existing Ellianos Coffee locations already serving the Douglas community, including a drive-thru and a cafe. With this latest opening, the franchisees saw an opportunity to meet growing consumer demand for Ellianos products while also serving the hardworking healthcare professionals, patients, and visitors at Coffee Regional Medical Center.
Ellianos Coffee is known for its handcrafted beverages and its efficient, high volume drive-thru business, and this kiosk brings that same commitment to quality and speed directly into the hospital setting, offering a convenient stop for coffee, energy drinks, refreshers, and more without ever having to leave the building.
"Bringing Ellianos into Coffee Regional Medical Center was a natural next step for these franchisees," said Lawton Unrau, President of Ellianos Coffee. "They have spent 15 years building trust and consistency in the Douglas community, and this kiosk is a wonderful way to extend that same quality and care to the people who are caring for others every single day. We are proud to be a part of this hospital and this hometown."
Known for their handcrafted espresso drinks and crave-worthy breakfast items, Ellianos Coffee has earned a loyal following across the Southeast.

With a reputation for fast, friendly service and high-quality ingredients, Ellianos delivers a drive-thru coffee experience that keeps guests coming back.
