Program overview
Choose the package that matches your market and production goals
Every Coffee Roasters Pro franchise package includes the four core modules — concept design, equipment procurement, green bean supply contracts, and operator training. Package tiers differ in roaster capacity, floor plate requirements, retail configuration, and wholesale capability. Indicative pricing below covers franchise fees, equipment, initial green bean inventory, and training; leasehold improvements and municipal permits are quoted separately during onboarding.
Studio Starter
Indicative range: C$85,000 – C$110,000
The Studio Starter package is designed for operators entering the specialty roasting market with a compact footprint and lower capital requirement. This tier includes a counter-mounted sample roaster rated for eight kilograms per hour, a minimal retail display with branded packaging materials, and a single-origin green bean supply contract covering three origins for the first six months of operation. Concept design focuses on efficient workflow within six hundred square feet or less, making it ideal for Inglewood corridor pop-up studios, seasonal market stalls, and shared commercial kitchen formats where roasting is permitted. Training covers four core modules: green bean identification, basic roast profiling, packaging and labelling compliance under Alberta food safety standards, and retail counter sales techniques. Partners at this tier typically serve walk-in retail customers and small office wholesale accounts within a five-kilometre radius.
Neighbourhood Roastery
Indicative range: C$145,000 – C$185,000
Our most popular franchise tier, the Neighbourhood Roastery package delivers a complete studio experience within nine hundred to twelve hundred square feet. Equipment includes a production drum roaster with fifteen-kilogram batch capacity, a destoning and sorting table, vacuum packaging station, and a retail counter with seating for six guests. The concept module provides full interior design schematics, signage specifications, and lighting plans that reflect the Coffee Roasters Pro brand palette. Green bean supply covers five origins with seasonal rotation schedules and direct-trade documentation for retail transparency. Training expands to eight modules, adding quality control cupping, roast defect identification, equipment maintenance schedules, and basic wholesale account management. This tier suits established retail corridors across Alberta where foot traffic and community engagement drive consistent daily sales volumes.
Production Hub
Indicative range: C$220,000 – C$275,000
The Production Hub package targets operators planning significant wholesale volume alongside retail sales. This tier configures a dual-roaster production floor with a primary fifteen-kilogram drum roaster and a secondary sample roaster for profile development and small-batch limited releases. A dedicated cupping room with SCAA-standard equipment supports rigorous quality control protocols. Wholesale packaging includes valve bags in multiple sizes, case labelling systems, and pallet staging area design. Green bean supply expands to eight origins with quarterly contract reviews and priority allocation during harvest season. Training covers all twelve modules in the Coffee Roasters Pro curriculum, including advanced roast profiling software, chaff and emissions management, wholesale pricing strategy, and Alberta business registration compliance. Floor plate requirements range from fourteen hundred to eighteen hundred square feet with enhanced ventilation specifications.
Regional Flagship
Indicative range: C$310,000 – C$380,000
Regional Flagship studios serve as brand anchors for multi-location operators and ambitious first-time franchise partners targeting premium market positioning. The package includes a twenty-five-kilogram production roaster, public cupping bar with twelve seats, event space configuration for private tastings and corporate workshops, and multi-zone green bean storage with climate monitoring. Concept design incorporates custom millwork, feature lighting, and an origin story display wall showcasing direct-trade partnerships. Supply contracts cover twelve origins with exclusive access to limited micro-lot releases. Training includes executive-level modules on multi-site management, staff hiring frameworks, and regional marketing campaign coordination through Coffee Roasters Pro brand guidelines. This tier requires minimum two thousand square feet and is suited to high-visibility locations in Calgary, Edmonton, and other Alberta urban centres with established specialty coffee demand.
Wholesale Accelerator
Indicative range: C$340,000 – C$410,000
The Wholesale Accelerator package prioritises production volume and distribution efficiency over public-facing retail experience. Configured for operators supplying cafés, restaurants, grocery partners, and corporate accounts across Alberta, this tier features a thirty-kilogram roaster, automated packaging line, forklift-accessible green bean receiving area, and dedicated quality assurance laboratory. Retail presence is limited to a pick-up counter and sample station rather than a full public café format. Green bean procurement includes volume pricing tiers, consolidated shipping schedules, and inventory management software integration. Training emphasises production scheduling, batch consistency at scale, logistics coordination, and Alberta wholesale food distribution licensing. Partners receive introductions to Coffee Roasters Pro's established wholesale buyer network in the Calgary and Edmonton metropolitan areas, accelerating account acquisition during the first year of operation.
Master Franchise
Indicative range: C$400,000 – C$450,000
The Master Franchise package is reserved for experienced operators seeking territorial development rights and multi-unit expansion capability within a defined Alberta region or Canadian province. This comprehensive tier includes everything in the Regional Flagship configuration plus sub-franchise licensing tools, regional supply chain management infrastructure, dedicated account executive support, and co-branded marketing fund participation. Master franchise partners receive priority equipment allocation, exclusive territory protection within negotiated boundaries, and revenue participation from sub-franchise agreements signed under their development licence. Training extends to franchise sales methodology, sub-operator onboarding management, and regional P&L reporting frameworks. Minimum commitment includes development of three studio locations within five years. Master franchise agreements are subject to enhanced due diligence, financial qualification review, and direct negotiation with Coffee Roasters Pro executive leadership at our Calgary headquarters.
