Located at 7246 Stall Road in North Charleston, Charleston Coffee Roasters’ expansion will increase the company’s capacity to meet growing demand.

“Charleston, South Carolina is our home. The community has been incredibly supportive since we founded Charleston Coffee Roasters 16 years ago. Working with the South Carolina Department of Commerce and Charleston County Economic Development, this next stage of our strategic growth plan enables us to hire more employees, continue our aggressive expansion, increase our distribution across more states and more retailers and create new gourmet coffee roasts for our customers to enjoy,” Charleston Coffee Roasters President Lowell D.
