A drive-thru coffee brand that has aggressively expanded throughout Marion and Lake Counties over the past year has opened its second location in Ocala.
Ellianos Coffee is now open for business at 101 SW 60th Avenue in Ocala. The coffee shop is located just south of the roadway’s intersection with West State Road 40, north of Ocala Breeders’ Sales and the Ocala International Airport.
The coffee chain offers a variety of iced and hot coffees, teas, smoothies, frozen coffees, and other drinks. Additionally, bagels, pastries, and other snacks are available for purchase.
The new location is owned by Bullard Investment Group, which is comprised of family members Bryan, Brittney, Kyle, and Stephanie Bullard. Two of the individuals, Kyle and Bryan, are originally from the city of Ocala.
The first Ellianos in Ocala opened in late 2024 at 7682 SW Highway 200, about 7.5 miles southwest of the new site. That store is owned by Blue Line Coffee, Inc., which is registered to Brandon Kutner of Newberry, Florida. Kutner owns multiple locations across Florida.
The new Ellianos is open Monday through Saturday, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Over the past year, the Ellianos brand has opened new locations all across Marion and Lake Counties. Emery Abshier opened the first Ellianos Coffee in Marion County in Belleview in February 2024. Michael and Alissa Stewart, of Lake City, opened the second Ellianos Coffee location in Marion County in Dunnellon in September 2024. Another new location recently opened in Leesburg.
