When you invest in opening your own Brewed Awakening Cafes franchise, our team is there to support you from the start. We kick off your pre-opening training with several onboarding steps. This includes the set-up of your business, finding a site and creating a design for your local café. As you get closer to opening, we will invite you to attend training, going through all of the details for day to day operations, marketing and managing your coffee shop, bakery and café. Hands on training will take place in Amherst, Ohio and Vermilion, OH over two weeks. Then, we will come to you in your local café to help you prepare for your Grand Opening celebration.
