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."

Hey, the word “rifle” in the name will mean that we won’t have to rub elbows with progressives and other undesirables, right?

Can’t come soon enough.

IF these lib infested “corporations” keep harping on their regular customers to believe as they do, they deserve to lose them. I don’t come there for a social lecture ...I come for coffee. Can’t give me coffee? Then you deserve to go out of business . . .

“Then Sniper’s it is for me! Dark roasts are for those who like to drink it all fay: less caffeine.”

ABSOLUTELY!!!

From a marksmanship angle, a bit counter-intuitive (heartrate vs at rest dwell), but it is definitely a tasty brew!

My friends, who both carry concealed, stopped going to Starbuck’s as soon as they found out about the no weapons policy. I’ve never been a fan of Starbucks, so staying out will be easy.

I’m really looking forward to getting some Black Rifle coffee...

Im doing the same, buying the 12 cups. I don’t have an Amazon card but it’s 15.99 and will be here tomorrow. Hope somebody likes it. The name - C A F, caffeinated as .... LOL.

I just want to support them and give a warm finger to Starbucks.

Our cooks boiled coffee over M-2 burners then tossed in some ice to `shock the grounds’ to the bottom. Dished it up with just a few grounds and great coffee. I drank it`black & barefoot’.

Gotta find out, just gotta find out where they are. I wouldn’t buy a Starbucks if my life depended on it.

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.

Nice - very nice. Thanks for the ping.

I wish they would open one in my area tomorrow! I hardly ever buy a cup of coffee and I only drink decaf now because of stomach acidity but I would buy their coffee to give away.

This morning I was watching the Saturday morning FOX Business lineup and on Cashin’ In, they were yapping about boycotting Starbucks and how boycotts don’t really work and Mercedes Schlapp piped up and said, “just buy coffee from Black Rifle Coffee Co.” Eric Boling asked her the name again and she repeated the name and added, BR is going to hire 10,000 veterans.

Crap, now they will really be sold out!!

They are pushing for retail shops! The plan is to fund 24 local shops and add 600 in 6 years.
