Indie Coffee Roasters
Indie Coffee Roasters is a Indiana based brand that has been roasting coffee and selling beans at local markets since 2013. Recently, in September 2021, the company opened a second location in West Lafayette, IN to expand to a new community. They specialize in offering their products through the use of a wholesale shop that sells single-origin coffee, merchandise, gift cards and subscriptions. They have established a successful business model with a great following, and are now looking for ways to compete against other wholesale and established coffee brands. Our project with Indie Coffee Roasters will center around disrupting office building coffee supply and getting Indie’s brand in more offices. To date, the business does not offer office items but is interested in this challenge to help companies give their workers an increased social experience and good tasting coffee in their office. Indie is also interested in adding wholesale clients in the form of breakfast cafes and coffee shops. A successful project would center around being able to produce a clear strategy to get coffee and equipment into offices, breakfast cafes, and shops considering the products sold by the company and price points for products and ingredients.
