Award-Winning Small Chain Espresso · Every Medallist
Small Chain Espresso covers operators with 2–9 locations — the sweet spot between a single café and a franchise. These are often roaster-owned café groups where the same person roasting the coffee is also managing the stores. A medal here signals that the quality scales past one location without needing the infrastructure of a large chain.
