SANDY, Utah – Beans & Brews Coffeehouse , a Utah-based coffee franchise that is known as the Home of High-Altitude Roasting®, announced a new development deal to bring three locations to the Phoenix area. The brand is partnering with Howard Sparks, Jr., his wife Brandi Adams, Marty and Tabitha Carter, and Pete and Paige Hargis to bring Beans & Brews to San Tan Valley and Queen Creek, AZ.

The partnership group brings a diverse background that makes them an ideal fit to expand Beans & Brews Coffeehouse further into Arizona. The group is confident that their combined experience within many different business sectors will allow them to be successful in bringing the brand to San Tan Valley and Queen Creek.

With a career in the finance industry, Howard Sparks, Jr. worked as a Fraud, Risk, and Underwriting Manager, where he learned to understand business processes, finances, and budgeting, which will play a key role in the growth and development of Beans & Brews in San Tan Valley and Queen Creek.

Serial entrepreneurs Pete and Paige Hargis round out the partnership group.

The husband-and-wife duo also own a rental property company committed to providing homes to those who are not yet at a place to purchase a home.

“Our team fell in love with Beans & Brews after learning that it’s a family business,” said Sparks, Jr. “The brand’s saying ‘We don’t just brew coffee, we brew community.’ really resonated with our group, and we are excited for the opportunity to provide the community a place to gather and enjoy one another’s company.”

At Beans & Brews Coffeehouse, the brand focuses on embracing its unique mountain lifestyle and “come as you are” atmosphere all while delivering quality service and products.
