Ziggi's Coffee, which was recently ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, has signed an agreement with franchisees David and Amber King to open the company's first Texas location.

David, an entrepreneur, and Amber, a nurse in the intensive care unit, are residents of Katy, Texas, a suburb 30 minutes west of Houston. The two discovered Ziggi's Coffee serendipitously while on their honeymoon in Colorado.

"When we first tried the coffee, we ranted and raved and wondered why we didn't have something like this in Texas," Amber King said in a company press release. "When we returned home and I suggested opening a location of our own, I had no clue David had already been researching the franchise opportunity. It just seemed like fate."

It only took one cup of coffee to pique their interest, but their experience from that point on is what sealed the deal.

"As we began the education process, we were just so impressed with every person we met," David King said in the release. "They all took an interest in learning about us and our story. They really put forth the effort to make us feel valued. It's a very genuine, people-focused atmosphere and everything is top-notch; very well done and very well thought out."

The couple will begin with one unit to start and plan to expand from there.

"Once this one goes well and we've hit it out of the park, our long-term plan is to expand and build as many as we can before we're old and gray," David King said.

Founded in 2004, the Colorado-based company, which specializes in drive-thru service, has 24 locations in Colorado, Arizona, Oklahoma and California, with more in development across the country. It has 48 units in development.
