Meet Our Local Owner

Opening a Just Love Coffee franchise in Douglas County was more than just a business decision for me; it was a deeply personal journey fueled by a desire to create a lasting legacy for my family. With over three decades of experience in corporate accounting, taxes, and payroll, I had reached a point in my life where the pursuit of something more meaningful became imperative. The catalyst for this significant shift was the realization that I wanted to leave behind something of value for my three adult children and their growing families, which have since expanded from five to seven grandchildren. This desire for legacy led me down the path of franchising, a venture that began amidst the uncertainties of the pandemic in 2020. Despite the challenges, my determination to build something enduring, a testament to resilience and love, has only strengthened.

The choice of Just Love Coffee as the franchise to bring to Douglas County was influenced by my personal values and the essence of the community I’ve grown to love. Having called this place home for over a decade, I’ve always felt its perfect balance of welcoming warmth and vibrant activity. My earlier venture, Painting with a Twist, was driven by a similar motivation to enrich the community with more engaging activities. However, the mission of Just Love Coffee, to serve as a catalyst for love, resonated with me on a deeper level. It was the perfect opportunity to create a space where people could gather, share stories, and feel a sense of belonging. My vision for Just Love Coffee extends beyond just serving coffee; it’s about fostering a community hub where love, in its many forms, is always brewing.

As Just Love Coffee becomes more integrated into the fabric of Douglas County, my hope is that it will not only be seen as a place to enjoy great coffee but also as a beacon of community and love. This franchise embodies my passions for creating something meaningful, mentoring others, and contributing positively to the community. Through this endeavor, I aim to demonstrate that it’s never too late to chase your dreams and make a significant impact. As I continue to juggle my love for travel, home improvement projects, and coaching others, Just Love Coffee stands as a testament to my journey of building a legacy that will hopefully outlast me and become a cherished part of the community I hold dear.
