Mokas Coffee & Eatery Launches Franchise Program Nationwide
Mokas Coffee & Eatery has announced plans to expand its operations nationwide through a new franchise program, with the first franchise location expected to open in Olathe, Kansas, by Spring 2026.
Mokas Coffee & Eatery has launched a franchise development program designed to expand its presence nationwide. The company currently operates four corporate-owned locations in Salina, Colby, and two in Wichita, Kansas. Additionally, three more locations are under development in Wichita and Hays, Kansas.
The franchise initiative aligns with the company's 20th anniversary and seeks to capitalize on the growing demand for coffee and casual dining options. Mokas is targeting areas such as Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas, as well as the Phoenix metropolitan area, including Scottsdale, Glendale, and Gilbert, for its expansion.
Christian Coleman has been named the first franchisee, securing territorial rights in key counties in Kansas, including Johnson, Douglas, and Shawnee. These areas encompass parts of the Kansas City metro area, as well as Lawrence and Topeka. Coleman's first franchise location is projected to open in Olathe by Spring 2026.
Mokas Coffee & Eatery, part of the JRI Hospitality group, has evolved from a small coffee shop in Salina, Kansas, to a fast-casual dining brand. The company offers a menu that includes in-house roasted coffee, smoothies, energy drinks, and a variety of breakfast and lunch items. The brand emphasizes fresh, made-to-order meals and aims to provide a consistent customer experience.
The franchise program is designed to support franchisees with tools that enable efficient operations and effective customer engagement. This includes a mobile app with integrated rewards, data analytics, and a data-driven decision model. Franchisees also have opportunities for additional revenue through a catering program that serves events, office orders, and community partnerships.
Mokas Coffee & Eatery's expansion strategy reflects its goal to establish a strong presence in the U.S. market by offering a combination of coffee and dining options. The company aims to attract entrepreneurs interested in joining its franchise network as it continues to grow beyond its existing locations in Kansas and Arizona.
