Description
Reborn Coffee is focused on serving high quality, specialty-roasted coffee at retail locations, kiosks and cafes. We are an innovative company that strives for constant improvement in the coffee experience through exploration of new technology and premier service, guided by traditional brewing techniques. We believe Reborn differentiates itself from other coffee roasters through its innovative techniques, including sourcing, washing, roasting, and brewing our coffee beans with a balance of precision and craft. The source of coffee is pinnacle to specialty coffee. The coffee industry has gone through various phases including the first, second, third and fourth wave. In the first and second waves of coffee, the single-origin source and type of the coffee was not necessarily in the forefront during the sourcing process. As such, much of the coffee was a blend with various sources and a mix of Robusta and Arabica coffee beans. The third wave of coffee focused on a single-origin source and one variety of coffee bean (specifically Arabica beans). Single-origin beans can focus on specific countries and can also have hyper-focused on specific regions in the third wave of coffee, such as Coban in Guatemala. Arabica beans are considered premier due to the specific requirements for their growth and the high-quality flavor they produce. Arabica coffee is required to be grown in higher, cooler elevations. Differentiated from other coffee companies, the Reborn Wash Process is the key to creating the clean flavor of our coffee. Our Wash Process is distinguished by the use of magnetized water to wash our green coffee beans when they arrive at the Reborn facility, in order to extract impurities and enhance hydration before the roasting process. Magnetizing water is a process that converts the particles of water, which can naturally appear in various sizes, into evenly sized particles. As a result of this process, we believe that the water increases its hydration and ability to absorb into organic material. Our water is created through a water magnetizing device in which water is flowed through the device and magnetizes the water on-site immediately prior to use. After the wash, we roast our washed-green beans based on the profile of each single-origin. After the coffee beans are roasted, they are then packaged into various products such as whole bean coffee, pour over packs, and cold brew packs. Additionally, whole bean inventory is also supplied to retail locations, kiosk and cafes. A portion of the roasted coffee is also allotted to create our award-winning cold brew concentrate. Our cold brew production is created using a proprietary percolation technique, also using magnetized water at each step to enhance the flavor of the cold brew. We continually innovate in the way we serve coffee. At our cafes, we serve customers our award-winning coffee through cold brew taps in addition to freshly ground coffee beans in espresso-made drinks. Other brew methods, such as an in-house pour over and drip coffee, are also available. In 2015, Jay Kim, our Chief Executive Officer, founded Reborn Coffee. Mr. Kim and his team launched Reborn Coffee with the vision of using the finest pure ingredients and pristine water. We serve customers through our retail store locations in California: Brea, La Crescenta, Glendale, Corona Del Mar, Arcadia, Laguna Woods, Riverside, San Francisco and Manhattan Beach, with Huntington Beach in development. Additionally, we expect to begin franchising in 2022 and expect to continue to develop additional retail locations as we expand outside of California. We estimate that the average development cost of a company-owned retail location is approximately $150,000. Therefore, taking into account the proceeds from this offering and within a year from its completion, we expect to open up to 20 company-owned retail locations (using approximately $3,000,000 of the proceeds of this offering) and 20 franchise locations (all costs and expenses associated with a franchise store location development are borne by the franchisees). We acknowledge that we have not yet signed any franchise agreements and that such number of franchise locations is purely speculative. Reborn Coffee continues to elevate the high-end coffee experience. As evidence of our success, we received 1st place traditional still in “America’s Best Cold Brew” competition by Coffee Fest in 2017 in Portland and 2018 in Los Angeles. As of December 31, 2021, all of our 7 retail locations were company-owned. As of the day of this prospectus, we have opened 2 new company-owned retail locations and expect to open a third one, which is currently under development, by 2022 year-end. Our retail locations generated AUV (defined below) of approximately $445,000 and $316,000 in 2021 and 2020, respectively. “Average Unit Volumes” or “AUVs” consist of the average annual sales of all locations that have been open for the entirety of the fiscal year presented. AUVs are calculated by dividing (x) annual sales for the fiscal year presented for all such locations by (y) the total number of locations in that base. This measurement allows management to assess changes in consumer spending patterns at our locations and the overall performance of our location base. --- Our principal executive offices are located at 580 N. Berry Street, Brea, CA 92821. Our telephone number is (714) 784-6369. Our website address is www.reborncoffee.com.
