The Coffee Club The Coffee Club The Coffee Club is a coffeehouse-style café chain. Originally created in 1989 as a place to get "an excellent coffee", the concept includes cafébar/restaurant stores with expanded menus and full table service. In 2005, The Coffee Club franchise was brought to New Zealand by Brad Jacobs and Andy Lucas opening their first store in Wellington. As of 2016, they have over 60 stores all around New Zealand. In 1989, friends Emmanuel Kokoris and Emmanuel Drivas were searching for a late-night cup of coffee. Their unsuccessful attempt led them to plan a new business venture: The Coffee Club.
Grounds for Coffee operated by Dan & Suzy Dailey and the Clearfield shop owned and operated by Pam McLaughlin at 375 South State St. (Lakeside Square), in Clearfield. It was at this point in time that Dan and Suzy Dailey acquired the trademarked logo and Grounds for Coffee name. They restructured the operation from a licensed business to a franchise. With only the two existing locations, Pam McLaughlin was invited but declined the offer to operate under the new franchise. She continues to operate independently from, and amicably with, the Daileys today. In 1991, Grounds for Coffee had a coffee shop at 4881
