Beans & Brews Coffeehouse, the growing coffee franchise known for its High-Altitude Roasting™ and welcoming mountain vibe, has officially opened its first Missouri location in Dardenne Prairie, just 40 minutes west of St. Louis.
The new shop features a cozy dine-in experience, convenient drive-thru, and a full menu of fan-favorite food items, new cold brews and premium coffee, including the brand’s newest protein coffee line.
Franchise owner Howard Sparks is leading a close-knit team which includes his wife Brandy, brother Michael, sister Tabitha and her husband Marty Carter, and longtime friends Pete and Paige Hargis—to bring the Beans & Brews brand to the Show Me State for the first time.
“We’re very excited to bring this quality coffee to Missouri,” said Sparks. “For us, this is more than great coffee. Beans & Brews is known for being a welcoming and inviting coffeehouse, and we’re thrilled to create a coffeehouse community in the St. Louis area.”
Sparks and his team have been exploring franchise ownership since 2022, drawn to Beans & Brews after his wife, an avid coffee drinker, fell in love with the brand.
“We’re proud to welcome Howard and his team to our growing franchise family,” said Doug Willmarth, CEO of Beans & Brews Coffeehouse. “This is an exciting step for our brand as we continue expanding into new markets. Howard’s passion for quality, service, and community makes him a great fit for leading the way in Missouri.”
The new Dardenne Prairie location marks another milestone in Beans & Brews’ expansion. With 20 new units opened across the Mountain West this year alone, the brand continues to build momentum with more growth on the horizon.
