@katmanalac @mariadelacroixx Wheelys Café is a dream opportunity for entrepreneurs and founders who want to leap frog into their own high-quality franchise. Entrepreneurs will be able to profit from this brilliant business model; and consumers still want face-to-face with the smiling barista. I predict if the Wheelys Cafés hits 1000+ cafe on-the-ground, Starbucks, Dunkin' and the illy corporate brands will try copying them. Could they hit 5,000 cafés in 5 years? Look forward to where this goes next. Ross D. Blankenship Angel Investor | http://AngelKings.com

@bentossell Hey Ben. Actually, if we where Apple, this would be an Apple “s” model. We focused mainly on thirty small improvements, many tiny for the eye, yet quite important when you are out there on the streets in Helsinki at 4 a.m that november morning. The biggest change is more a psychological one - from trying to be “non harming the environment” to actually "helping the enviroment”. Like our air purifier, that we are recycling grounds that we use for planting, actually reducing CO2 instead of being neutral. Our step is still a small one, but the mindset has changed our product development, and we have a feeling this direction will soon make some ripples. Finally, the fact that we now have a solar powered fridge will be somewhat of an advantage in places like Yemen and the south of Mexico. Love!! Maria

@mariadelacroixx ooooo intriguing... Where are some of the coolest places some Wheely's have set up?

@bentossell I still think Jordan, one of our first Wheelers, is quite cool (https://www.facebook.com/WheelysJo/). Among our newer locations we have Tromsö in Norway, 350 miles kilometres above the Arctic Circle. And Melbourne who launched just yesterday!

@mariadelacroixx @bentossell speaking of Jordan, soon we will have one here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra, also French Guyana is sort of a magical place!

@jay_bee12345 "All you need is a liquor license". For many years this was basically my only modus operandi.

@tomasmazetti Glad to hear we're on the same page! I'm surprised at the duration of the task.. I also think inside/outdoor fitness facilities is a great place for your product and associated services.. Thanks again!

@piero_ruiz Hi Pedro! You definitely should!! Well people do in general believe that the licensing is our biggest challenge. And cryptical regulations is hard, but in almost all cases we've been able to find a way around it. Like with most challenges we meet. But that doesn't mean that it's been easy, more like: every little detail has been tricky and we are so used to deal with things going wrong that we are prepared for the worst every minute :)

@piero_ruiz Hey Pedro! Sorry for the late response. I'm actually operating in Stockholm so could give you a pretty clear indication as to what a day in the life of a Wheeler looks like. When it comes to licensing in Stockholm the process is super simple. You apply through your local authority. It's quick. Efficient. And costs very little! However... Yes, you're right. Licensing is one of the main hurdles a Wheeler has has to overcome. The difficulty is totally dependent on the laws in your Country or State. So research is key! I've been lucky enough to be able to speak with many of the new Wheelers who will be operating in the near future. All coffee vendors you've been warned! They're an extremely energetic bunch with the most creative minds. They're keen and already showing strong entrepreneurial spirits with their early ideas. Wheely's will be unleashing an army of them on the world to shake things up! And i cant wait! The feedback I'm getting from the Wheelers is that local authorities are slowly coming round to the idea of street vending. I believe that as momentum builds and the Wheely's brand is elevated, local authorities will fully understand the concept and then be easily swayed. I mean... Who can say no to a lean, mean, air purifying machine right? Also Wheely's are so versatile that you don't necessarily have to be shackled to a laborious licensing procedure. You can easily adapt them for shopping malls (like the guys in Spain). Corporate events (like the chaps in Jordan). Or inside Central Station (like me in Stockholm). The possibilities are endless! I hope this helps :) /Jamie
