Becoming the Ideal Franchise Owner
Prior to owning a PJ’s Coffee, Bobby served in the infantry of the Marine Corps reserves for six years and was deployed to Iraq in 2004. Upon his return, Bobby left the Marine Corps, and went on to pursue another dream—becoming a police officer. He served as a police officer in Monroe and West Monroe, La. until he began to approach retirement age. As he pondered the next step in his career, he realized he desired to become a business owner and began his entrepreneurial journey.
He searched for the best franchise opportunity and was drawn to PJ’s Coffee. As he looked more into the prospect, he learned about the Veteran Franchise License giveaway and immediately entered the contest. To Bobby’s surprise, he won and was awarded his PJ’s Coffee franchise, located in Ruston, LA.

One of the factors that make the Mounts such stand-out franchisees is that they have created a work environment geared towards helping young adults become successful.
“I want to share my knowledge and what I’ve learned through my experiences with the military and police force and build up the younger generation of people by creating structure, accountability and job growth opportunities. They can take all that they learn and apply it to their futures—both personally and professionally,” said Bobby.
