Memphis Coffee Owners Celebrate Big Win: Franchisee of the Year!
Memphis has always been known for its vibrant culture and delicious food, but recently, it has brought some serious coffee cred to the table too! Pyramid Coffee, co-owned by the dynamic trio of Ryan Scoggin, Stan Buncher, and Fischer Van Handel, has just been honored with the coveted Franchisee of the Year award from Scooterโs Coffee. This exciting accolade was presented at the annual GROW franchisee conference held in Omaha, Nebraska, on March 19, 2025!
The Rise of Pyramid Coffee
Since opening their first store in Millington, TN, back in August 2023, Pyramid Coffee has rapidly expanded its footprint in the Memphis area. You can now grab a delicious cup from their locations in Covington, TN, Southaven, MS, and Horn Lake, MS! And hereโs a fun fact โ the two Mississippi locations opened their doors just eight weeks before the big award announcement!
Why They Stood Out
The Franchisee of the Year award isnโt just handed out; it recognizes coffee shops that showcase outstanding sales performance, community involvement, employee management, and overall contributions to the brand. Pyramid Coffee has clearly hit the nail on the head in all these areas!
One of the secrets to their success lies in their commitment to building a world-class service team. The Pyramid Coffee team dedicates a whopping 95% of their time to team-building activities. This kind of dedication ensures that every customer is treated like family. They believe in leading by example, which is why their chief marketing officer even works at the drive-thru window, demonstrating the importance of good service from the top down.
Community Engagement
Pyramid Coffeeโs connection to the Memphis community is truly heartwarming. They actively participate in local high school athletic events and have formed partnerships with chambers of commerce. Their commitment to giving back is evident through their monthly days of giving, celebrated every third Tuesday of the month, where they shine a light on worthy causes. Theyโve also sponsored fun local events, like the popular Hwy 51 Music Festival!
Delicious Offerings
While Pyramid Coffee has made a name for itself with its community efforts, letโs not forget about their mouthwatering menu! They serve up a delightful range of espresso-based drinks, including the famous Carameliciousยฎ, alongside a selection of slow-steeped cold brews and scrumptious pastries. Their breakfast items are perfect for those on the go and have quickly become neighborhood favorites.
A Nod from Leadership
Joe Thornton, the CEO of Scooterโs Coffee, recognized Pyramid Coffee’s incredible achievements in 2024 and applauded their unwavering dedication to the community. Itโs clear that their hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed!
Wrapping It Up
With their enthusiastic commitment to service, quality, and community, Ryan Scoggin, Stan Buncher, and Fischer Van Handel have taken the Memphis coffee scene by storm. The Franchisee of the Year award from Scooterโs Coffee is just one of the many bright milestones on the horizon for Pyramid Coffee. So the next time you’re in the Memphis area, make sure to stop by one of their locations for not just a caffeine fix but also an opportunity to support a business that genuinely cares. Cheers to many more years of success and delicious coffee!
