Black Rifle Coffee Company Takes on Starbucks: We're Hiring 10,000 Veterans
Townhall ^ | Feb 02, 2017 10:00 AM | Katie Palvich

Black Rifle Coffee Company, founded by veteran Evan Hafer, is responding to Starbuck's CEO Howard Schultz' pledge to hire 10,000 refugees. Schultz' announcement came last weekend in response to President Trump's recent executive order temporarily barring refugees and visa holders from seven terror ridden countries.

"We want to shift the conversation away from foreign policy to domestic issues that hit closer to home. We need to keep in mind that the four things we care about at BRCC are Family, Business, Veterans and country," the company posted on its Instagram page. "And when we say 'country', the taxpayers. Everyone else can take a hike. Careers@blackriflecoffee.com."

BRCC is currently advertising for 2 people in Utah. That’s it. How they are going to get to 10000 new hires beats me. Cheap advertising for them though.

From their website:

Currently you can buy Black Rifle Coffee products on our website. We do not yet have any retail locations, but when we branch out we’ll be sure to keep you up to date on all of our locations!

They ought to sell an instant coffee, too, especially if they don’t have local shops.

Awesome! I admit I’ve never heard of the Black Rifle Coffee Company before, but I sure hope this U.S. veteran-founded and owned company grows and thrives.

I think they are an order by mail coffee company. Not sure, though.

I just did a search for Utah on this coffee...and we have one in downtown Salt Lake City and has great reviews and also some of their profits go to help the Veterans!!!

Next time I go to downtown I will stop by and try some...

Now that Starbucks are hiring thugs, we have a place to go that represents what WE stand for: VETERANS!!!

Thank you! I'll definitely check out their website. We need to support this U.S. veteran-founded and owned company.

Buying some ASAP. I like light roasts - caffeine less roasted out - and no fair trade crap!

BRC puts up some great coffee!!!

Reminds to order some more “Sniper’s Hide” beans (their light roast).

Their motto.... COFFEE or DIE with the cut up snake.

I just checked their website and couldn’t find the careers section. Anyone have link for where to apply?

(I’m not a vet, but I know a few.)

Personally, even for the politics, I hate Starbucks coffee and prefer Tim Hortons.

Rumor is our company will be kicking Starbucks out and bringing another company. Not because of this political story, but because they’re proving too expensive. Either way...good news. I wanted a coffee really bad the other day...I began my boycott of SB.

Thanks, hoagy62. I just ordered two bags of their Beyond Black Coffee Blend, in whole beans. I’ve been a Yuban addict for 30 years, but I’ll give this veteran-owned product a try.
