Franchise Profile:

  • Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the first Greenberry’s Coffee Co. store opened in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1992.
  • Sean and Roxanne Simmons opened with the intent of serving the finest selection of specialty coffees, teas and freshly-baked pastries in a warm and inviting atmosphere. In order to ensure the integrity and quality of the coffee they served, they knew that they needed to roast their own product. Even today, every batch of coffee served is roasted by hand by Greenberry’s Master Roaster and shipped fresh on a daily basis. Our Master Coffee Roaster views roasting as an art, not a job, and the difference is evident in every cup that is enjoyed.
  • As the customer base grew, Sean and Roxanne started receiving inquiries about bringing the same sense of community and high-end coffee to other locations. They started franchising Greenberry’s Coffee Co. and partnered with like-minded people who shared their same passion for coffee, quality and customer service. As the coffee market grew, the need for high-quality, freshly prepared food arose. Sean and Roxanne wanted to bring the same dedication to quality to the food program as they had to their coffee. Creating a breakfast and lunch menu centered around fresh, savory ingredients. Paired with Greenberry’s Coffee Co.’s freshly baked pastries and baked goods, they created a full line food solution that continues to expand as trends and dietary requirements develop
