Aroma Joe's is a Scarborough, Maine fast casual coffee franchisor headquartered at 700 Technology Way. Four Maine cousins, Marty and Tim McKenna and Mike and Brian Sillon, opened the first shop in East Rochester, New Hampshire, in 2000 around handcrafted coffee, espresso drinks, signature flavor infusions and the brand's AJ's Rush energy drinks served with an upbeat neighborhood vibe. The concept quickly became a community destination across northern New England before the company began franchising in 2012 with support from Subway development veteran Loren Goodridge, shifting from a regional operator into a formal franchise system. Aroma Joe's is the concept, and the company operates as its franchisor with a clear majority of shops franchised to local owner-operators. The footprint is New England–focused, with additional Mid-Atlantic and Florida markets beyond the Maine and New Hampshire core. Restaurants are fast casual and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with coffee-led menus featuring espresso beverages, specialty drinks and all-day food offerings suited to drive-thru and cafe traffic. Typical units seat about 30 guests in roughly 1,250 square feet, reflecting compact coffee shops oriented to speed and community rather than large dining rooms.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.
The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.
