Ziggi's Coffee is bringing three drive-thru business units to the northern Colorado region via an agreement with Kip Farnsworth and Tracy Finley, local residents of Firestone, Colorado.

"This company really means something to us," Finley said in a company press release. "It's where our relationship began, and now, years later, it's going to be the start of a new career venture for us. It has just been a perfect fit."

Although Farnsworth and Finley were childhood friends growing up in Longmont, Colorado, where Ziggi's Coffee was founded, they eventually lost touch. Over 25 years passed when as fate would have it, they were reconnected via social media. Their first date was at their local Ziggi's Coffee.

Both entrepreneurs, Finley has owned her own salon for 15 years, while Farnsworth works in real estate. They decided the time was right to diversify and of course, it had to be with coffee.

"Tracy has always talked about owning a coffee shop and I kept seeing Ziggi's popping up everywhere I looked; the timing was just right," Farnsworth said in the release.

"What really stood out to me was that Ziggi's clearly has a proven formula that continues to work at every location. Their systems are apparent in their growth and with their entire team," Finley said.

The couple is eyeing locations from Brighton, Colorado to Laramie, Wyoming.

Founded in 2004, Ziggi's has 25 locations nationwide and 48 additional units in development,
