Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq:SBUX) may currently be the largest coffee house chain in the world, but it lacks in “star” power. A new player has arrived. Hollywood Espresso, founded by film industry veterans Roberta Pacino and her husband, Mark Oliver Richman. The couple aims to inject a little “Hollywood” into your daily coffee consumption.

If the name Roberta Pacino rings a bell, it is because she is the sister of Al Pacino, the movie Actor. That may not be enough to excite you, but then maybe the concept and ground floor investment opportunity will. Think “Planet Hollywood” the next time you have a cup of cappuccino.

The initial rollout will be 5 company owned stores in Hollywood, Chicago, New York, Miami and Houston to act as distribution centers 366 planned franchises in the coming 60 months. Each company store is an LLC where 49% is available to investors via private placement (DPP).

Once Hollywood Espresso gets its’ foothold, their exit strategy may include a buyout, IPO or reverse merger. They also plan to grow internationally with the first company store in Tokyo.
