    High Praise From Franchise Owners

    Matt Costain

    Central Alberta Coffee News

    Central Alberta has been home to the Coffee News for 30 years now as of 2024. Through this time it continues to bring our smaller communities together over coffee, laughs, and a little competitive trivia among friends. As a franchise owner one of my favourite things, I have been told by our loyal readers is that "Coffee News is the only news I will read". I have been a proud member of the Coffee News team and I look forward to bringing my readers smiles each week.

    I believe small businesses are the backbone of our country. Coffee News gives them a chance to grow and make a difference in their communities. It is affordable, effective, and exclusive. That is what makes it unique. No day is the same. There is always someone to meet and something different happening. Building relationships is key and fulfilling.

    I chose to invest in a Coffee News franchise because it aligns with my passion for business ownership and community engagement. The flexibility it offers allows me to maintain a balanced lifestyle while running a successful, locally focused publication.

    We have three daughters, and Coffee News provided a flexible schedule that allowed us to be there for everything as they participated in many school activities. If your idea of fun is getting out in your community and meeting new people while you help local businesses succeed, then Coffee News is the answer. Coffee News is an all-positive, family-friendly publication, and I love spreading happiness while I make a living.
