As I love coffee immensely, my idea today was to explore the best opportunities for franchising in the fields of retail coffee business. Here are my picks:

- Jo To Go Coffee®, a leading specialty coffee drive-through since 1998, offers a unique opportunity to open a coffee franchise through an Incremental Franchise Fee Structure. The Structure allows entrepreneurs to take small financial steps toward paying the franchise fee and opening their own Jo To Go Coffee® drive-thru.
