A Manager Turned Franchise Owner Starts Down the Path to Financial Freedom: Malik Suleiman

on

We are excited to announce the newest owner of Ziggi’s Coffee: Malik Suleiman. Given his incredible work ethic, we are certain that Malik is destined for greatness in this new venture, and we cannot wait to see all of the things he achieves. 

Who Is Malik Suleiman?

A resident of Schererville, Indiana, Malik is the manager of a family-owned wig and beauty supply store. As the manager, he is responsible for overseeing most of the store’s day-to-day operations, ranging from order fulfilment to staffing to inventory. 

However, Malik also helps shape the business’s strategic plan, and he played a large part in the decision to niche down. While the business now focuses exclusively on wigs and beauty products, it was formerly a one-stop-shop convenience store that stocked an array of other products. 

Why Did Malik Suleiman Make a Career Change?

While Malik enjoyed many aspects of his managerial position, his desire to enjoy more freedom and build generational wealth led him to pursue franchise ownership. He understood that this kind of self-employment can be challenging, but he also knows that the ultimate payoff will be worth rolling up his sleeves and doing the hard work.

It is also worth noting that Malik really enjoys being able to make the timely decisions that affect the trajectory of a business – something he will undoubtedly have the chance to do in his new endeavor.

Why Will Malik Suleiman Make a Great Franchise Owner?

Malik has a number of skills that will help him achieve success with his Ziggi’s Coffee franchise. For starters, Malik is an impressive salesman, which will certainly be helpful in a retail setting, but he is also a creative problem solver.  

But perhaps the most noteworthy skill Malik brings to the table is his attention to detail – he really did his homework while working through the process to help ensure he made the right decisions.

As FranCoach franchise coach Matt Woodcock explains, “Working with Malik and his family was everything I thought it would be. They took a ton of time to do the proper diligence, to learn the business from the top down, and to speak with owners on the local level.”

Why Did Malik Suleiman Choose Ziggi’s Coffee?

Malik was already interested in the coffee industry when he first reached out to FranCoach. Believing that coffee helps to bring friends, families, and business people together in one place, Malik’s appreciation for coffee goes beyond welcoming aromas and caffeine. 

After learning about some of the possibilities in this space, Malik zeroed in on Ziggi’s Coffee

Dedicated to not only providing “a superior cup of coffee, but also superior service customers can rely on,” Ziggi’s Coffee started as a single shop in downtown Longmont, Colorado in 2004. But since then, they have expanded operations and now operate drive-thru and coffeehouse locations throughout the United States.  

And like Malik, the founders of Ziggi’s Coffee see coffee as more than just a warm cup of Joe to start the day – they associate it with fellowship and view it as a way to connect with their customers.  

Please join our team at FranCoach in congratulating Malik Suleiman and wishing him luck as a new owner of Ziggi’s Coffee.
