in 1976 joanne and julius shaw began selling specialty coffee to consumers in their first store in dearborn michigan . 1 6 as of february 2007 the company had 131 franchise locations in the united states and another 25 in other countries most notably in bahrain china cyprus south korea united arab emirates and lebanon . 3 business model edit the store concepts offered to franchisees include retail specialty stores coffee bars kiosks double wide drive thru and caf stores . 7 in 1997 the company introduced a new location concept the caf store offering an extended menu of sandwiches salads soups and bakery goods . the caf concept differed from earlier ones requiring additional equipment floor space and staffing and locations outside of malls . 7 the caf concept was not treated differently in franchisee documents so it was difficult for potential franchisees to tell if any caf s were making money . at least one of the caf franchisees later sued claiming they had planned to buy the traditional coffee shop but were enticed on discovery day to buy the caf concept instead . 3 legal determinations edit in 2006 the maryland securities commissioner determined that the company had made material misrepresentations to prospective franchisees in violation of state law and ordered it to release maryland franchisees from their contracts without penalty . in 2008 the illinois attorney general made a similar determination . the maryland order also directed the company to permanently cease and desist from offering and selling franchises in maryland . 3 8 in the judge s latest court order he ruled this case is buyers remorse and the case was settled in 2013 . 9 see also edit coffee portal list of coffeehouse chains references edit a b usealman kevin september 23 2010
