Wyoming is a Great Place to Open a Coffee Shop!
From its beautiful natural scenery and vibrant local culture to its favorable tax laws and business-friendly regulations, Wyoming has everything you need to open a successful coffee shop.
With only 14 major coffee chain locations per 100,000 residents in Wyoming, there’s plenty of opportunity to open and run a successful independent coffee shop in your local community.
Wyoming ranks 12th in coffee shops per capita, according to a study by Zoma Sleep. The study counted 4,127 Wyoming residents for every coffee shop in the Cowboy State.
Considering that 62 percent of Americans drink coffee, averaging three cups per day, it’s safe to say there’s room for many more coffee shops in Wyoming to serve residents and the millions of annual visitors.
And according to the National Coffee Association, coffee drinkers are flocking to espresso-based beverages brewed from high-quality beans. Consumption of cappuccinos, lattes, and mochas has increased by a staggering 50 percent since 2015, driven partly by strong popularity with 25 to 39-year-olds.
Small Wyoming Cities and Towns Present Big Opportunities
With many parts of Wyoming underserved by major coffee chains, it might pay to consider starting a coffee shop outside the biggest cities, such as Cheyenne, Casper, and Gillette.
Many cities and towns in Wyoming’s 23 counties lack a gathering place where locals can get together over a cup of coffee.
Does your Wyoming community need an independent coffee shop?
Consider that coffee shops are more than just places to get a caffeine fix. As community gathering places, they provide space for people to socialize, work and relax.
A coffee shop in a small town can create jobs and bring in additional foot traffic to the area. This can help to support other local businesses and potentially bring new ones to the community.
Your coffee shop could also serve as a cultural hub for your community. You can host open mic nights, art exhibitions, or book clubs, providing a space for artistic expression and intellectual discussion.
