Black Rifle Coffee Company Corporate Office

Former Green Beret Evan Hafer founded Black Rifle Coffee Company in 2014. Hafer states that he has always had a deep love for a variety of coffee flavors and was probably the only soldier in Iraq who received shipments of different flavored coffee packages.

Once he completed his tour of duty, Hafer spoke with his friend Mat Best, former Army Ranger, about teaming up to make both coffee and a clothing line geared towards veterans.

The company sells Brazilian slow roasted coffees, mugs, stickers, shirts, and jackets. Hafer states that they hope to open 100 stores around the US via franchising in the next 5 years.

Hafer made news when he pledged to hire 10,000 veterans after Starbucks offered to hire 10,000 refugees. Black Rifle currently has 102 employees and a 50% veteran hiring rate.

The company says that it roasts more than 1 million pounds of coffee each year and has an annual revenue of $30 million after only 4 years in business.

Black Rifle Coffee is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and announced in April 2018 that they were investing $6 million in a roasting facility in Manchester, Tennessee.

The Spice and Tea Exchange Corporate Office

The Spice and Tea Exchange was founded in 2006 by Amy Freeman. Finding herself homeless at 16, Freeman learned to not only take care of herself, but she discovered that she could do anything if she put her mind to the task. While on vacation in St. Augustine, Florida, Freeman found a small tea and spice store and immediately fell in love with it.

Starting the business in 2008, at the height of the financial recession, many people told Freeman that the business would not work, but she had faith that, in this digital world, others would view the company as she did; a place to relax and enjoy the scents and tastes of teas, herbs, and spices from around the world.

Freeman immediately began franchising her business. Soon, the idea took off. Even if people could no longer afford to eat out, they could afford a box of tea and enjoy the scents of other spices inside the locations.

Today, the company has more than 50 franchised locations, with plans in 2018 to open 15 locations in Arizona alone. Freeman believes the reason for her success is not only about her vision of the company, but because it is different from other coffee houses or even tea houses. They offer herbs and herb blends for cooking, in addition to coffee and tea, as well as spices not typically found in American grocery stores, including sugar and salt.

At this time, company headquarters remain in Palm Harbor, Florida.
