Concord Coffee

What Concord Coffee does

Concord Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster founded in 2014 and headquartered at 1037 Florida Ave South in Lakeland, Florida, with 15 employees. The company roasts direct-trade coffee sourced from farmers in Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, India, Costa Rica, and Tanzania in its Lakeland facility, producing three signature house blends (The Concord Classic, Sweet & Smooth, Bright & Balanced) priced at $20 per 12 oz bag, plus a rotating lineup of single-origin coffees, a Swiss Water Process decaf, branded drinkware, brewing equipment (including Fellow Stagg kettles), and digital gift cards ($25/$50/$100 denominations). Each coffee SKU is available as either a one-time purchase or as part of a $20/month recurring subscription.

The business operates across three go-to-market motions: direct-to-consumer e-commerce via Shopify with USPS Priority Mail shipping and a 10%-off newsletter-acquisition funnel; company-owned retail locations in Lakeland (headquarters with roasting), Gainesville, Winter Haven (coming soon at 249 3rd St SW), and Orlando Health Lakeland Highlands (a hospital-based location); and a B2B wholesale program with no minimum order quantities, free first samples, consulting/training support, and weekly Monday-cutoff delivery. Customer segments span individual home brewers and specialty-coffee enthusiasts, in-store café customers, and wholesale business partners (cafes, restaurants, offices).

Revenue mechanics combine one-time retail/merchandise sales, recurring subscription income from the three signature blends, wholesale bulk sales (5 lb or 12 oz bags), and gift card prepayment. Marketing is driven by organic social media (Facebook, Instagram), an email newsletter, and content-led storytelling around sourcing transparency and farmer relationships. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public revenue disclosure.
