OUR PURPOSE
Our founders, John and Kim Puckett, opened the doors of the very first Caribou Coffee® with a vision to build personal connection into the coffeehouse experience. Nearly 30 years later, Caribou Coffee’s purpose of creating day making experiences that spark a chain reaction of good for our team, guests and community fuels our growth.
OUR OPERATIONS
Caribou Coffee was founded in Minnesota in 1992. Our company headquarters and roastery are still located there today and we serve guests in more than 700 coffeehouses worldwide. Caribou Coffee products are also available in all 50 states across grocery stores, mass retailers, club stores, foodservice providers, hotel, entertainment venues and online.
