Ellianos Coffee Opening New Jacksonville Site

Ellianos Coffee , a southeast-based drive-thru specialty coffee brand, has announced its newest location is coming soon to Jacksonville at 12795 Atlantic Blvd .

Michael and Becky Moore have a combined experience of over 25 years in entrepreneurship and have successfully juggled full-time careers while raising four children and managing a bustling side business, according to a press release . During a family visit to Jacksonville, where three of their four children reside, their coffee-enthusiast daughter-in-law introduced them to the brand. They’re now preparing to open a location in the Girvin Plaza Center in May or June 2024 .

“Our daughter-in-law is a bit of a coffee-holic and raved about this new, must-try coffee place,” Becky Moore said in a press release. “All it took was one coffee to know that the quality was next level. After discussing the next venture for our business life, we decided opening a franchise would be a great next challenge for us, and we wanted it to be a business we could stand behind.”

The Ellianos menu boasts Signature Creations such as the Caffe Dolce Latte, iced Tuscany Toffee Latte, or a Cookies and Cream Freezer. Ellianos offers fruit smoothies, Red Bull Rushes, teas, shakes, and more for non-coffee drinkers. The coffee franchise also provides an array of food items such as breakfast sandwiches, fresh New York-style bagels, hearty breakfast bowls with creamy homemade grits, and more.

Over the past year, Ellianos has seen significant growth, expanding its footprint in Florida and Georgia and offering territories in other states. The brand continues to seek franchisees for territories in Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Ellianos also recently announced a new location in Palatka, FL, opening in May or June, followed by another location in Middleburg, which is expected to open around the same time. These two new locations will be owned by separate franchisees who wish to remain anonymous.

“We are thrilled to have Michael and Becky Moore join the Ellianos family as franchisees and couldn’t be more excited about the site selection,” a spokesperson said in a press release. “This location promises high visibility and easy access for Jacksonville residents, aligning with our brand’s commitment to convenience and quality service.”
