Tully’s Coffee first annual Franchise Expo July 20, 2010

TC Global, Inc., dba Tully’s Coffee (Tully’s), a leading specialty coffee retailer, today announced the expansion of its franchise program to include single-unit franchisees. The new model will initially focus on the Western Washington trade area. On July 20, 2010, Tully’s will host its first ever Tully’s Franchise Expo, welcoming prospective owners to the company headquarters on Airport Way in Seattle to review the new program, explore available trade area markets and speak with Tully’s CEO and franchise management about starting their own new Tully’s Coffee.

The new single-unit franchising opens up investment opportunities for individuals interested in taking active role in running the franchise. Tully’s Franchise Support System empowers franchisees through training, seamless supply and distribution systems, and bulk purchasing power that help them jumpstart their business at significant cost savings. Not only can a Tully’s single-unit franchise yield a solid income, it can generate new jobs and provide an appealing alternative for investors in a down economy.
