John & Erinn Rasmussen and Matthew & Susana Aubert, the franchise partners behind this venture, bring a wealth of experience in Business, Operations, Training, and Restaurant skills to the table. Their journey to opening an Ellianos Coffee store in Port Charlotte is rooted in personal connections and a genuine love for the brand. “Our introduction to Ellianos came through a family recommendation, and after trying many of their drinks, we instantly fell in love with the brand,” they shared. Their excitement is palpable as they discuss their plans, “This is our pilot store, and we have five more in the pipeline!”
Choosing Port Charlotte as the location for their pilot store was influenced by personal ties to the area. “We have friends and family here, making our transition seamless. We were thrilled at the prospect of moving here and becoming part of the community,” they added.
