A franchisee has opened the first Ellianos Coffee in Ocala, following the openings of two other locations in Marion County earlier this year.
Ellianos Coffee Company is now open for business at 7682 SW Hwy 200 in Ocala. The new business is offering a limited time discount during its soft opening on Thursday.
According to its Google listing, the business will officially be open on Friday, December 27.
“Come on by today for our Friends and Family soft opening and give us a chance to test our baristas and our systems in real time ahead of our grand opening. All drinks are 50% off today only,” reads a statement posted to the company’s social media channels early Thursday morning.
The new Ellianos is registered to Blue Line Coffee, Inc., a company that is owned by Brandon Kutner of Newberry, Florida. Kutner is a veteran of the United States Navy and owns a travel agency.
The business’s menu features a variety of espresso-based beverages, latte freezers, smoothies, and breakfast foods. There are no dine-in services offered.
With the addition of the new drive-thru in Ocala, there are now three Ellianos locations in Marion County.
Emery Abshier, of Belleview, opened the first Ellianos Coffee location in Marion County in Belleview in February.
Michael and Alissa Stewart, of Lake City, opened the second Ellianos Coffee location in Marion County in Dunnellon in September.
Ellianos Coffee Company in Ocala is open 7 days a week, from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Monday through Saturday, and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. The business will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
