While Big Coffee Companies Flinch, This Brand Adapts

When it rains on the $250B coffee market, it pours. Amid a wave of heavy downpours in Brazil and commodity price swings, major coffee brands like Starbucks Corp. are struggling to secure the best Arabica coffee beans. 

Luckily, Green Coffee Company (GCC), Colombia’s No. 1 largest and vertically integrated coffee producer, is protected against these shocks. 

And until Wednesday, you can own a piece at $1.10/share.

GCC controls 45 farms, 10 million trees, and 10,000 acres of Colombian farmland. Their regenerative farming practices and innovative processing infrastructure have been critical in ensuring their cost of goods doesn’t move with commodity markets, setting them miles apart from their competitors in the $250B global market.

While big brands struggle to absorb rising input costs, GCC is expanding across the U.S. and Canada. They reached their 3,000-store goal early this year, and now they’re targeting hundreds more locations across Target, Kroger, and Canada’s biggest food retailer, Loblaws. 

Only two days left to invest at $1.10/share before the share price changes after 9/30.

A Bullseye for This Colombian Coffee Icon

Over 30 million guests shop at Target every week. That’s 1.5 billion visits per year. 

And no one is more perfectly positioned to capture these ravenous consumers than Green Coffee Company (GCC), who grew their presence 445% in Target stores after introducing the iconic Juan Valdez coffee brand to Target’s shelves.

Holding the exclusive rights to this beloved Colombian coffee brand across the US and Canada originally landed GCC a 55-location deal with Target. But it flew off shelves so fast the major retailer increased that number to over 300. 

And GCC isn’t slowing down. They’ve just announced their entrance into Canada through Loblaws, the country’s biggest food retailer. 

Final days to invest at $1.10/share until the share price changes after 9/30.
