“Coffee” Is Big business? Yes, coffee! You may be thinking to yourself, “I never expected a business where I could make money to be related to coffee” or “I figured I’d have to cut my arm off to get my own store.” Or, maybe you’re thinking like I was when I first heard about this. You may be thinking. “I’m not sure I get it. How much money can there really be in coffee?”Let me answer that last question first. How much money is in it?

A LOT! In fact, that famous national chain store you see all over the place, those stores average $755,000 each in sales every year! and unlike most of the other chains, “Greenbucks” own ALL of their own stores, you couldn’t get one for any price. But, you could start up one of the lesser coffee chains but those would set you back a minimum of $200,000. Are you starting to see the big picture? Coffee is Big Business and there are billions and billions of dollars in coffee consumed every year. I thought I’d tell you that right up front, but you need to read on because the story gets even better.

THIS MAY SURPRISE YOU: According to Wikipedia, “Coffee is the second-most-traded physical commodity in the world!” Considering the other commodities are oil, gold, silver, wheat, and corn; you get an idea of exactly the kind of popularity and demand coffee commands.

Virtually everyone drinks coffee. And even for the tiny, tiny minority who may not drink coffee, they’d have to be from the moon to not at least several other people who drink coffee … and they probably drink multiple cups every day.
