Business Spotlight — Scooter's Coffee
St. Cloud Financial Credit Union is proud to continue to serve our members and communities in all aspects of their financial journey. That includes the business community and those who are either looking to start a business, expand upon their existing business, and more.
In our Business Spotlight Series, we will highlight various businesses within our community who we have had a pleasure of working with as we assist in helping bring their business dreams to life.
In this edition, we highlight Scooter’s Coffee and franchise owner Sarah Ressemann and how SCFCU partnered to help bring to life two multiple locations in the St. Cloud area.
Background
Scooter’s Coffee was first established in 1998 when its first drive-thru coffeehouse opened in Nebraska. Since then, Scooter’s Coffee has spread throughout the country, including Minnesota and the Central Minnesota community.
Sarah Ressemann, a former teacher, became tired of waiting in long drive-thru lines to get coffee, resulting in her exploring the idea of establishing a new coffee destination in the area. That’s what led her to Scooter’s Coffee, a drive-thru only coffeehouse that prides itself on quality products and fast service.
After opening a location in St. Cloud in 2021, the success of the operation resulted in two additional locations in Sartell in 2023 and Sauk Rapids in 2024.
Relationship With SCFCU
When Ressemann was looking to expand Scooter’s locations to Sartell in 2022, she partnered with SCFCU’s Business Services team to lay the groundwork to make that happen.
Ressemann came to SCFCU to obtain a SBA loan to bring her hopes of expansion to life, with her local, trusted credit union helping her through the process with guidance every step of the way.
What They’re Saying
“Borrowing for a commercial business was brand new to us and we knew nothing about it. We never felt like we weren’t supported with them. I would highly recommend St. Cloud Financial Credit Union for your business. They will guide you through the whole process and it’s an absolute no-brainer.”
