SFC Evan Hafer here, founder of Black Rifle Coffee. What questions do you have for me?

SFC Hafer, I don't drink as much coffee these days, being retired (USAF) and a heart by pass participant. But when I do drink coffee, it's decaf. Does your company produce decaf coffee? Fellow by passers say their doctors recommend decaf, as it is better for the heart.

Have you done market analysis in NJ (Trenton, Princeton, Burlington, Bordentown areas) or Philly area? I live in the 19057 area and would be interested in becoming an Franchisee depending of franchise fee and other perpetual franchise costs.

What's your opinion on the Army returning to spit shined boots and shoes when in garrison. I feel the Esprit de Corps went away with the spit shined boots. Oh the shine I could get out of my Jump boots was amazing!!!

Hello! I love your company and everything it stands for. Do you all ever have any openings where a Vet who's a little slow on their feet due to knee ops may be able to come work for you?

@SFC Evan Hafer I could see a franchise being successful here in the Twin Cities. Even as liberal as the state is they still have a great respect for us Veterans and I could see a thriving business for a BRCC shop or 10.

I would be interested in franchise information, the Farmington, Lakeville and Apple Valley Minnesota areas are really growning and it could be an awesome area for a couple of BRCC Coffee Shops.

I hate Starbucks !

Happiness is indeed a Belt-Fed Weapon. And coffeee is its adjunct. I was at a edged weapoin traing in Scotland in JUly deep in the West Highlands and at the little lodge we stayed in, the bunk nhouse had a pound of Black Rifle coffee!!

Are you aware that the Crossfit Team Affiliate 2017 Champions are from Layton, Utah? What a great endorsement this Championship Team could be for you! I was at the Crossfit Games in Madison in Aug and visited your kiosk. I was impressed with your brand and was happy to hear it was Veteran owned and based out of SLC. Can't help but wonder if you were with the 19th SFG(A)? I myself spent 10 years with them as an AGR soldier with GSC AND HHC/HQ in the late 90's.
The POC for Crossfit Team is Adrian Conway

I wish you continued success!

Coffee Shops have been a resource for G.I.s for decades. Shelter Half near Ft. Lewis was a center for G.I. Resistance durring the Viet Nam War from 1968-74. So was Coffee Strong also near Ft. Lewis in 2007. It provided legal counseling to the military as well as resistance resources, like the G.I Rights Hotline, information on IVAW, VFP and MFSO.

SFC E. Hafer, I know I would be interested in doing my part to help with this business proposition. I am a Marine veteran in Iowa, and there is an active duty base for army national guard and reserves base not too far from me. I would be interested in getting a shop at up either directly on base or off base. My email address is [login to see]
