Port Charlotte, Florida (December 11, 2023) – Ellianos Coffee, a southeast-based drive-thru specialty coffee brand, is coming soon to Port Charlotte, Florida. This charming community, known for its pristine beaches, harbor environment, and rich history, will soon welcome a new Ellianos location. This new addition will introduce the residents of Port Charlotte to the rich flavors and dedicated service that Ellianos is known for. The new store is set to open at 19175 Peachland Blvd.
Speaking about their decision to open an Ellianos Coffee store, John & Erinn Rasmussen and Matthew & Susana Aubert said, “Each partner brings many skills that we will utilize to become successful franchises. We are happy to share our experience with Business, Operations, Training, and Restaurant skills with Port Charlotte.” When asked about their introduction to the Ellianos brand, they shared, “We were not from Florida, but my brother, an ‘Over the Road Truck Driver,’ told us about it. We made a special trip to try out many of the drinks and fell in love with the brand!”
The team stated their excitement for this venture: “We are very excited! This is our pilot store; we have five more in the works!” Personal connections influenced their choice of Port Charlotte, “We have friends and family in the area, which made our transition very easy. We had visited the area previously and were very excited to move here and share our lives with our new neighbors.”
A spokesperson from Ellianos remarked, “Port Charlotte is about to experience the passion for quality and service that Ellianos stands for. We are thrilled to have John, Erinn, Matthew, and Susana as our franchisees and are confident that Port Charlotte residents will soon have a new favorite coffee spot.”
The popular specialty coffee brand offers several menu items, including espresso drinks, latte freezers, drip coffee, and more. For non-coffee drinkers, they also serve smoothies, teas, various flavored energy drink offerings called Ellianos Edge, and more. Additionally, they serve various food items such as hearty breakfast grit bowls, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, cookies, brownies, and chicken salad croissants.
