Ziggi’s Coffee is located at 3 Waterfall Drive, near the border of Saco and Scarborough.
Look out, coffee-lovers, a new chain is coming to Saco.
Ziggi’s Coffee, a franchise brand that started in Colorado, will open its first Maine store on Tuesday, Feb. 20, at 3 Waterfall Drive in Saco, near the Scarborough town line.
"I think this is great for that area," said Tracey Desjardins, the Saco economic development director. "There is a lot of growth going on and new construction. We are the first Ziggi's in Maine and that is exciting."
In Saco, the Ziggi's location, which broke ground in late September, is a new build. The building is 1,000 square feet, according to Nick Cormier, business development manager at PM Construction Co. The coffee shop will have a drive-thru and walk-up windows, as well as seasonal outdoor seating.
Along with PM Construction, the project team included Port City Architecture and Sebago Technics.
“The construction went smoothly and was on schedule, ultimately aided by a mild winter," Cormier told Mainebiz.
Ziggi’s Coffee brand is expected to open additional locations in Maine in the future.
The coffee shop will be open Monday through Friday, from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m.; weekend hours will be from from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Ziggi’s menu includes specialty coffee, chai and tea drinks, energy drinks, smoothies and Italian sodas. Food items will include breakfast sandwiches, burritos, paninis, scones, cookies, oatmeal, breads, cookies, cake pops and gluten-free options.
In a dozen states
Ziggi’s Coffee was founded in 2004 by Brandon and Camrin Knudsen in downtown Longmont, Colo., north of Denver. It has since grown into a drive-thru and coffee house chain. The company reportedly has around 75 locations in more than a dozen states, and opened 17 locations last year.
The company opened its first New Hampshire store, in Meredith, on Jan. 16.
Elsewhere in Saco, other coffee shop franchises include Starbucks, Dunkin' and Aroma Joe's.
The local franchisee is RHPEC 2 Holidings LLC.
