Caribou Coffee Offers Good Brew, Great Atmosphere
By Roland Jefferson
Caribou coffee may be the second-largest coffee retailer in the United States, but taste tests have
ranked them first in flavor in recent years. The company, which began in Minnesota, now includes over
460 coffee shops that are located in 18 states throughout the eastern and central regions of the
country. It is second only to the Starbucks Corporation in terms of size and number of stores. The
history of Caribou Coffee has had its highs and lows since it was founded in 1992, but the origins of the
company are interesting and inspiring to up and coming entrepreneurs.

them, and two years later they opened the first Caribou Coffee shop in Edina, Minnesota. This
inspiration that began the path to their dream has resulted in a company that strives for the highest
quality of products and service in the coffee market today.
What does Caribou Coffee Offer?
In addition to a great, laid back atmosphere that can be compared to a ski lodge or a wilderness cabin,
Caribou offers a wide variety of hot and cold beverages as well as baked goods to warm your bones

in your basic coffee shop today, incl
