Additionally, Timothy’s produces K-Cup^® portion packs for the Keurig^® Single-Cup Brewing System sold under the Timothy’s World Coffee^®, Emeril’s and Kahlua^® Original K-Cup brands. Timothy’s became a licensed roaster of Keurig, Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of GMCR, in 2000.

Lawrence J. Blanford, President and Chief Executive Officer of GMCR said, “Timothy’s is a great addition to GMCR’s family of brands. We have been collaborating together since they became a Keurig licensee and know the company is a great strategic and cultural fit. We believe that Timothy’s, along with our Green Mountain Coffee brand, will contribute meaningfully to our future success in Canada and throughout North America.”

Blanford continued, “This acquisition will provide GMCR with a Canadian presence and a coffee roasting facility in Toronto. It will accelerate GMCR’s geographic expansion with a Canadian brand platform that includes manufacturing and distribution synergies. The retail portion of the Timothy’s business has been purchased by Bruegger’s Enterprises, Inc. and will continue to support the Timothy’s brand across Canada. Our acquisition includes a five-year coffee supply agreement with Bruegger’s

Canadian affiliate and we look forward to our expanding relationship with them as we already supply all of their 290 locations in the U.S.”

Blanford concluded, “Timothy’s wholesale business and brand is a landmark international acquisition for GMCR – representing the accomplishment of a key goal: to further optimize the Keurig opportunity and our family of brands across North America.”
