Apparently Dutch Bros Coffee Is Making College Kids Rich AF

DUTCH BROS

Hey you.

Are you broke and hopeless, working at a Burger King drive thru? Did that Social Media degree not really pan out for you? Or maybe you blew your chance at an internship with a certain major college-related media company because you brought Dorn’s beer a degree too warm and he gave you the sack? I mean he literally tied you into a trash bag and left you on the curb to be picked up by a garbage truck.

Maybe you should open a Dutch Bros franchise.

From Forbes:

Kristen Von Tersch, a 28-year-old college dropout with a pierced nose, owns five Dutch Bros. drive-through coffee franchises in the sleepy southern Oregon town of Klamath Falls. A year ago she was making $35,000 as a regional manager. Now her stores are on track to gross nearly $4 million, leaving her $230,000 in profit.

To buy her five franchises, she had to put up only $5,000. By contrast, Dunkin’ Donuts requires franchisees to have liquid assets of at least $250,000 and a net worth of $500,000 per store. To cover the rest of her investment, including the $30,000-per-store franchise fees plus depreciated equipment costs, Dutch Bros. loaned her $250,000 at 12% interest, amortized over ten years. She pays rent on the real estate and a royalty of 7% of her gross.

You have to actually work for the company for a couple years to get this deal, but hey, you’re not doing much better at BK. Become a Frappe Bro/American-ho. Go learn how to sell sugary horse cum to high school students. The greatest thing about America is that even a worthless loser like you can make something of yourself if you put in the effort.

      Because Bud Light Platinums are what your trailer trash parents buy to “class it up” for your uncle’s Get Out of Jail Party.

    Thank you, Forbes, for saying she has a pierced nose. That added a whole lot to the story. As if I wouldn’t have thought she was hippie as fuck in the first place for dropping out of college and opening up her own coffee shop.

      I mean, I do feel like a pierced nose adds at least at 15% increase to the likelihood of buttstuff.

        Yeah that’s true. But is buttstuff with a hippie worth it? Asking for a friend.

        I don’t think anyone would turn down the holy hippy combo of buttstuff and free weed

    Your suggesting that I drop out of school, obtain body piercings, and open a coffee shop? So long gents, looks like we’ve finally been hijacked by the liberals.

      Hey, dropping out worked for Zuckerberg and Gates. Making bank off of minimal work…that’s a real TFM
