🚀 Why We’re Raising Right Now

In March 2024, we were in 60 Georgia stores.

By December? 700+.

As of August 1, 2025? 1,500+ stores nationwide — including Kroger, Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, Food Town, Fresh Market, and Andronico’s (Albertsons).

We’ve cracked retail distribution. Now we need fuel to scale:

  • Push sales velocity to at least 1 bag/day/store in our current footprint ($4.3M/year retail sales)
  • Roll out to 4,000–5,000 stores by end of 2025
  • Launch Dope Coffee cafés, expand into military exchanges, and grow brand dominance coast to coast.


The Heat Check – Where We’re At Today

  • 1,500+ stores in GA, NC, VA, MD, DC, and CA
  • $45K/month recurring revenue — without paid ads
  • $3.3M non-dilutive funding from Stonecrest for flagship roastery & café HQ
  • Pilot in 15 Marine Corps Exchanges — pathway to 2,000+ DoD retail sites
  • 106 office breakrooms stocked via Parmenter Office Supplies (Atlanta)
  • 4K–5K more shelves in negotiation for 2025
  • Partnered with Clejan, The Trap Violinist (3M followers) to drive online sales and content
  • Launched our Cold Brew Bus at over 15 Farmers Market in ATL. Next coffee truck launches in NC this fall.
