Baristas Files Franchise Documents to become registered in Washington State.

(

SEATTLE , March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Baristas Coffee Company Inc. (OTC Pink: BCCI), a fast growing U.S. based beverage and branded products company, has today announced that it has filed its UFOC Disclosure Documents, Operations Manual, Franchise Agreements, Financials, and all required support documentation to become registered to sell franchises in its home state Washington .

Now that it has completed this required step, Baristas plans to file in other states that require registration in order to sell franchises within that territory. This is the result of Baristas launching a major expansion push through its Franchising division. As of this date all operating locations are company owned.

Newly appointed Director of Franchising Mike Reynolds stated, "Baristas offers a unique opportunity within the franchising and coffee store segments. We have a very affordable build out cost based on our highly efficient small footprint, as well as compelling ROI's. Since I have been working with Baristas I have re-designed its franchise marketing and support materials and have been working with many qualified potential franchise owners. Baristas has in my opinion one of the best franchise opportunities in the industry and clearly the best in its sector."

Barry Henthorn CEO commented; "Our decision to file in our home state was the result of strong inquires to franchise the Baristas model in highly desirable states that require registration and approval of franchise documents in order to sell franchises in those states such as California and several others. Once we have been approved in those states as well then we will be able to move forward with marketing the Baristas franchise system in those areas. We expect this to result in the opening of new franchised locations that will increase our revenue while further decreasing Baristas Cost of Goods Sold as a result of larger volumes in our supply chain ."
