Joe Bean’s Express Espresso

Number of Employees: 180

For 25 years, Joe Beans Express Espresso has been proudly powered by women! Since opening our first location in November 2000, we’ve remained 100% locally owned and operated, growing from a single drive-through stand to eight locations serving Lynchburg and the surrounding areas.

Joe Beans is fully woman-owned by Linda Brown, and currently, every one of our locations is led by strong, talented female managers.

Creativity, drive, and enthusiasm have fueled our growth – not just in new locations, but in our ever-expanding menu! Many of our signature specialty coffees, smoothies, energy drinks, and more have been dreamed up by our own managers and employees, making Joe Beans truly unique. Our mission is for you to leave with a smile on your face and delicious drink in your hand!

As we celebrate 25 years, we’re incredibly grateful for our amazing customers and this supportive community that continues to fuel us. Thank you for making Joe Beans part of your daily routine – we can’t wait to see what the next 25 years bring!

Here’s to strong coffee and strong women!
