In 2022, Crimson Cup released a series of startup guides to help entrepreneurs in every state realize their dream of opening their own coffee shop.
For 2024, the company’s 7 Steps to Success Coffee Shop Startup Advisory team has released its “How to Start a Coffee Shop in South Carolina” guide with even more tips and resources.
“South Carolina provides fertile ground for many types of small businesses, and coffee shops are no exception,” said Crimson Cup founder and president Greg Ubert.
“South Carolina ranks 46th among the states in the number of coffee shops per capita, with less than one coffee shop for every 8,122 residents. This means that many South Carolina residents do not have a coffee shop nearby, especially in the smaller cities and towns.”
Crimson Cup’s 7-Step Program is based on Ubert’s book, Seven Steps to Success: A Common Sense Guide to Successful Coffee Business, which he wrote to help coffee shop owners master all aspects of running a successful coffee shop. The book is the centerpiece of the company’s Coffee Shop Startup Kit.
“We help entrepreneurs with little or no experience in the coffee business become owners of thriving coffeehouses that serve their local communities,” he said.
“From choosing a great location and writing a compelling business plan for your cafe, to calculating start-up costs, purchasing and supplying equipment, hiring and training staff, and more, our team is here to help.”

“As a coffee roaster and coffee business consultant, Crimson Cup believes that our company is only successful when our customers are successful,” said Ubert. “That’s why we support coffee shop owners every step of the way, from concept to opening day and beyond.”
“While the fundamentals of coffee shop operations remain the same from state to state, economic opportunities, business formation and licensing requirements vary widely,” Ubert said. “We’re excited to share information and resources to help entrepreneurs accelerate their startup journey.”
He invited anyone in any state thinking of opening a cafe to call Crimson Cup for advice.
“If you encounter obstacles or simply want to discuss your vision with a coffee expert, you can reach our startup team at 1-888-800-9224.”
