Vibrant Coffeehouse + Kitchen is a multi-location café offering house-roasted artisanal coffee, espresso beverages, energy drinks, and fresh, all-day fare. Established as a “true experiment in blending community, innovation, and financial services” by Vibrant Credit Union, the concept has grown from its original Moline location (opened in 2022) to include vibrant outposts in Bettendorf (2023) and Des Moines (2023).
This turnkey operation offers a unique blend of café culture and full kitchen service—perfect for a passionate operator or investor looking to expand in the specialty coffee and casual dining space.
This is a rare chance to own a standout concept with a reputation for quality, consistency, and charm.
What Makes Vibrant CH&K Stand Out -
- Diverse, crave-worthy offerings: A broad menu featuring artisan espresso drinks crafted from in-house roasted beans, hand-mixed energy drinks, teas, dirty sodas, plus all-day breakfast, savory sandwiches, salads, soups, bowls, and bakery items.
- Community-first atmosphere: Designed to feel like a neighborhood haven—comfortable, welcoming, and familiar. The vibe appeals to everyone from students and professionals to families (each location includes a free Community Room for meetings and gatherings).
- Robust brand & merchandise: Includes a well-curated retail component featuring seasonal merch, hat/cup/hoodie lines, artisan gifts, and house-roasted coffee beans—embracing a true lifestyle brand ethos.
- Proven community engagement: To date, the cafés have served over 453,000 cups of coffee, hosted 98 events, and sold 28,400+ pieces of merchandise, signaling strong foot traffic and brand-love.
Ideal Buyer Profile
- Someone passionate about the café space with expertise in hospitality, retail, or community-driven ventures.
- Entrepreneurs looking to elevate a brand that has authentic roots, market traction, and a ready-made following.
