What Makes Our Coffee Franchise Business…the BEST.
What We Stand For
Our Brand
Travelin’ Tom’s isn’t just a coffee truck—it’s a coffee experience built on connection, convenience, and quality. Designed to meet people where they are, our brand is warm, approachable, and refreshingly simple.
While some coffee franchises lean on exclusivity and complex menus, we believe great coffee should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we focus on service over sophistication, delivering handcrafted drinks with a smile, whether at a bustling event or a quiet neighborhood gathering.
Inspired by our namesake, Tom Lamb, our brand focuses on creating memorable moments through genuine interactions, a smile, and a kind word. Though he can’t be at every coffee truck, his mission lives on in every interaction. The Travelin’ Tom’s franchise is more than a food truck business—it’s a chance to bring positivity and unforgettable moments to communities, one cup at a time.
Then
Born from the innovative spirit behind Kona Ice, Travelin’ Tom’s launched in 2020 with a bold mission: to revolutionize the mobile coffee experience. Backed by a proven franchise model and a track record of award-winning growth, the brand quickly gained traction. In just a few short years, we’ve grown to over 250 units nationwide—powered by handcrafted drinks, community connection, and a brand that brings people together, one cup at a time.
Now
Today, Travelin’ Tom’s is a turnkey coffee food truck franchise opportunity that makes owning a coffee business simple. With a sleek, mobile-first design, proprietary software for precision and efficiency, and cutting-edge marketing strategies, franchisees can hit the ground running.
As we continue to grow, our mission stays the same: bringing coffee, connection, and convenience to communities everywhere. The future of coffee is mobile—are you ready to roll with us?
Mission & Values
Why Tom’s You Ask?
Founder Tony Lamb’s entrepreneurial journey began with his father, Tom, who shaped Tony’s belief in the power of connection and service. Their bond inspired Tony to create Travelin’ Tom’s, a coffee food truck franchise that honors Tom’s legacy. At the heart of the brand is a commitment to making every interaction special, bringing communities together through a shared love for coffee. We don’t believe in complicated menus or exclusivity—just great coffee, simplicity, and a smile.

The Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Academy is a four-day immersive training program that equips franchisees with the skills and tools needed to run a successful mobile coffee business.
