History

The first Heine Brothers' shop was opened in the Highlands neighborhood in Louisville in 1994.[6]

The company became "100% Fair-Trade & Organic" in 2002.[7]

In 2011, co-founder Mays bought out Heine's interests in the company and merged it with Vint, a local coffee shop chain.[8] Today, the company operates 16 Heine Brothers' coffee shops within Kentucky and Southern Indiana.[9][10][11]

Heine Brothers' location in The Highlands

In 1999, Heine Brothers' became a founding member of Cooperative Coffees, Inc.,[12][13] an importer of fairly traded and organically grown green coffee operating in the United States and Canada.[7]

In early 2015, in a partnership with Forecastle Foundation and Whole Foods Market, Heine Brothers' created "Kentucky Dream", a fair trade coffee blend benefiting conservation efforts.[14]

In November 2016, the company relocated its roasting facilities and headquarters to Louisville's Portland neighborhood.[15][16]

In August 2017, Heine Brothers' partnered with WDRB, a local, Fox-affiliated television station, to distribute eclipse glasses for the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. Funds raised from the promotion, totaling $50,702, were donated to the Louisville Science Center.[17][18]

In 2021, the company expanded with one more shop in Valley Station.[19]

On May 10, 2022, several Heine Brothers workers announced their intention to form a union.[20] On March 17, 2023, the workers' union ratified their first collective bargaining agreement with the company.[21]

Production

Currently, the company's products are made in Central America (Dominican Republic, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua), South America (Colombia, Peru, Bolivia), Africa (Ethiopia), Indonesia (Sumatra, East Timor).
