BOULDER – Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii, a leading coffee franchise renowned for its premium sourcing of Hawaiian coffees and unforgettable cafés, has announced the signing of a multi-unit franchise agreement to bring three locations to the Boulder, Colorado area. The first location is expected to open in August of 2025, with additional locations planned for Lakewood and Castle Rock.

Having successfully operated three childcare centers in the Denver area for the past 20 years, she sought a new opportunity that aligned with her passions.
“I’ve always believed in the power of franchising when it’s done right, and I wanted to find a brand that truly supports its franchisees while aligning with my values,” said Deasy. “Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii stood out because of its commitment to franchisee success and its exceptional product.
