La Colombe Coffee Roasters deepens relationship with Whole Foods Market
Coffee brand adds 2 Friends of Whole Foods Market cafes in retailer
Philadelphia-based La Colombe announced growth with Whole Foods Market Inc., Austin, Texas, which launches the brand into the national spotlight as a key relationship for the retailer, the company says.
La Colombe will provide the coffee and training for cafés in several Whole Foods Market regions, including Rocky Mountain and North Atlantic. Additionally, two “Friends of Whole Foods Market” locations, which are owned-and-operated by La Colombe, will open within two Whole Foods Market flagship locations this year ― one on North Lamar Boulevard in Austin, Texas and another in the Bowery neighborhood of New York City. This comes on the heels of securing national distribution of roasted coffee in all Whole Foods Market locations across the country, the company notes.
