Our History
We formed our company as Northeast Ohio Coffee News, LLC in September 2003 and in November of 2003 we bought our first franchise and started publishing our first paper in Medina, Ohio. We had such great fun publishing the paper a a great response from the community that in February of 2004 we started our second edition in Western Summit County.
As we continued to grow we had restaurants calling us and asking us to deliver the paper to them as their customers kept asking them for Coffee News, so in Mid 2005 we purchased the Cuyahoga Falls franchise and started our 3rd edition of Coffee News. As we set up distribution points in the Falls we had a number the restauranteurs remark “We wondered when you were going to come to us!”
In May of 2007 we were able to negotiate the purchase of the existing franchises in Stow, Kent and Hudson for 2 more franchises giving us 5 franchise territories but at present we are only producing 4 editions.
Repetitive Advertising Works! Coffee News Makes It Affordable!
Coffee News… A Success Story
Coffee News is an entertaining weekly publication distributed through restaurants, coffee shops and waiting rooms - anywhere people may find themselves waiting for their meal or an appointment. Coffee News has the week's funniest and most unusual news stories, jokes, trivia, amazing facts, and more.
Coffee News is the brainchild of Jean Daum, an expert on advertising and subliminal learning techniques. Ms. Daum designed Coffee News to be one of the most effective, yet affordable means of advertising ever produced. Previously a successful newspaper publisher, Ms. Daum reversed an 80% business failure rate to an incredible 80% success rate in her community. Not satisfied with that, she went on to develop an advertising medium that was far less expensive for advertisers, but just as potent. Ms. Daum launched the first Coffee News in 1988. Almost two decades later, Coffee News is now published in over 500 cities in 40 countries! Not bad for a little coffee-colored publication.
“Coffee News is the ULTIMATE RECESSION BUSTER, but this time everybody - even me - is in the black. It's great to be a volunteer working towards something that will change the lives of hundreds of people. And it's even better when all your hopes and dreams are multiplied by the number of people who are doing the same in their OWN neighborhoods - making their own mark in history.
After all, is not the price of being born, to leave the world a better place for having been? ion! “ Wrote Jean Daum our founder
