Nick Stone taking on America’s coffee market

Bluestone Lane CEO Nick Stone is taking on America’s growing coffee market by bringing Australia’s massive drinking culture over to the United States. The former AFL player saw potential to franchise his coffee business Bluestone Lane, reaching 52 locations in the United States before the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think it’s very hard to launch into the international market and do it one foot in, one foot out,” he told Sky News Australia. “I think you’ve got to really commit in a large way and believe, and you have got to do whatever it takes.”
