SFC (Join to see) Will your 10,000 hired Vets plan call for opening coffee shops to compete directly with Starbucks? If so, what will franchise fees run a potential entrepreneur?

SGT S Johnson - Just what does this thread, and in particular my question to the leader of BRCC have to do with Kroger? Your comment may even be true, but really Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

I don't have any questions for you, but I just want to give you a "thumbs up" for standing up for veterans when others are opening their doors for refugees, you are doing the right thing- thank you!

How about the fact that Starbucks is willing to hire Illegal Aliens over American Citizens first? Seems reason enough to me to bad mouth them or anyone else with that business model

Wasn't all of Starbucks "donated" coffee to OIF bought and donated by customers. None if it actually came from Starbucks. I know we got free coffee from New England Coffee.

MAJ John Richards - No Starbucks has to cycle the product on their shelves. So essentially all donated coffee sat on the shelf for a month before being donated.

Thanks for jumping on with us SFC (Join to see).
Can you give us an overview of your personal path to entrepreneurship with BRCC and explain what your biggest piece of advice is for other veterans who are considering starting their own business?

Sure, I have owned a couple of other businesses in the past. I owned a wine bar, a rafting company, and a crowdfunding site. All of which were successful in their own right and all of which contributed to the success of BRCC.
I was looking at getting out of government service, and I needed a business path. The reason was that I had a heavy amount of fatigue from working for poor management. I initially wanted to start a coffee shop, but I was also very interested in the marketing side of the business. I had spent some time with the Article 15 Clothing guys and I was intrigued with the ecomm side of business. So, I decided that a "roast to order" coffee company was the direction I wanted to take.
