Little River Set to Brew Exciting Changes with Knowledge Perk Coffee Company’s First Drive-Thru
Little River, South Carolina is buzzing with anticipation as Knowledge Perk Coffee Company gears up to open its first-ever drive-thru location by fall 2025. This charming coffee brand, originally hailing from Rock Hill, South Carolina, is not just your average coffee shop. Founded in 2017, this small-batch coffee roastery and café has made quite a name for itself in the local coffee scene.
A Strategic Move toward Growth
With its sights set on scaling up, Knowledge Perk is making a strategic leap into the drive-thru realm. The addition of a drive-thru will allow the company to cater to the ever-growing demand for quality coffee while ensuring it maintains the high standards its customers have come to love. Positioned in Horry County along the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway and nestled perfectly between North Myrtle Beach and the North Carolina state line, this new location seems like a match made in heaven for coffee lovers.
Rapid Expansion and Lifestyle Brand Creation
This move into Little River is part of a larger expansion strategy for Knowledge Perk, which has seen impressive growth in recent years. The brand now boasts locations in Fort Mill, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Spartanburg, and even Charlotte, all within just 18 months. Seeing such rapid progress is an indicator of the demand for Knowledge Perk’s unique offerings and the capability of its business model to thrive.
The company is not just about caffeine; it’s creating a coffee-infused lifestyle brand that resonates with people across various backgrounds. They’ve partnered with several universities, including the University of South Carolina and Coastal Carolina University, to further cement their presence in the community. Additionally, Knowledge Perk has established connections with sports teams, notably Charlotte FC and the United States Disc Golf Championship held in Rock Hill, which speaks to their diverse outreach.
More in Store for Coffee Enthusiasts
Knowledge Perk is also bringing another shake-up to Columbia, with plans to open a second café at Gateway 737, a student housing development, in July 2025. This emphasis on convenience and accessibility reflects how serious the company is about being everywhere their customers need them to be. But that’s not all; there’s another licensed location set to open at The Mill at Fountain Inn, run by the same team behind the Spartanburg site. These developments hint at a flourishing future for the brand.
Franchising Opportunities on the Horizon
As Knowledge Perk continues to expand, they are weighing the options of moving from licensing to franchising. This transition could allow them to elevate their brand on a national level, proving that premium coffee can compete and flourish in a fast-paced market. Through their growth, they have maintained their commitment to authenticity, ensuring that their high-quality coffee remains a staple no matter how far flung they become.
Conclusion: A Bright Future for Knowledge Perk
In conclusion, as Little River prepares to welcome Knowledge Perk’s drive-thru location, coffee lovers should gear up for an exciting chapter in their caffeine adventures. With its blend of quality, community spirit, and innovative expansion strategies, Knowledge Perk Coffee Company is paving the way for a successful future and opening doors for more delicious coffee experiences ahead!
