In June 2009, Praise International North America Inc., completed negotiations to buy It’s A Grind U.S. retail and franchise operations from the founders of It’s A Grind.

Today, It’s A Grind operates more than 35 locations in 7 states, including 25 in Southern California and the first international location in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Future international development is currently planned for Dubai (UAE), Doha (Qatar), and Brunei.

The stores have become popular neighborhood coffee houses featuring large, comfortable seating and an eclectic blend of recorded music. We are famous for our high-quality Arabica coffee beans, which we micro-roast. This process ensures fresh, smooth flavorful coffee. It’s A Grind offers specialty, traditional espresso, iced, blended coffee drinks, tea, tea-based drinks, bagels, muffins, scones and other bakery items.

The key to It’s A Grind success is the local ownership and personal involvement of its owner operators. We look for Franchise Partners that are people-oriented, community-minded individuals who strive to “go the extra mile” to ensure a customer leaves satisfied and looks forward to returning on a regular basis.

We offer a neighborhood lifestyle at our coffee houses. Our concept is to take the independent coffee house culture and tailor it to suit the local community, while maintaining its integrity. We are not just a coffee house, but essentially a “community within four walls.”

We make a point to stay on top of the ever-changing trends in coffee. Now, with an established brand, we are poised to expand rapidly across the nation and we continue to find a place in the hearts of coffee lovers everywhere.
