The franchise location is being opened by “longtime Florida residents with extensive business experience,” the release states.
Ellianos Coffee opened in 2002, according to the company’s website, after the founders — Scott and Pan Stewart of Lake City — visited the Pacific Northwest and saw the success of drive-thru coffee shops there.
The Ellianos concept features a double-drive-thru design on either side of the building, similar to the Oregon-based Dutch Bros. Coffee chain.
