About
Sweetwaters was founded in 1993 by Lisa and Wei Bee in Ann Arbor, MI. Both Lisa and Wei grew up in families that owned restaurants. They witnessed firsthand not only the benefits of business ownership, but also the challenges of operating a full-service restaurant. Sweetwaters has spent nearly 25 years continually developing and refining a semi-absentee business model that is far easier to operate than a full-service restaurant. Sweetwaters specializes in hand crafted artisanal drinks and a limited food menu, creating a café model that is highly profitable and scalable for its franchise owners. Sweetwaters provides affordable luxury to a loyal and diverse community of guests who establish a regular routine of frequenting their locations. We invite you to see how Sweetwaters has created a deliciously different and addictive café experience.
