Favorite Coffee — Delivered! THE BEST ROASTER IN THE SOUTH
Matt eventually got a job in purchasing and traveled the world for five years. Drinking coffee with dark chocolate in Germany opened his eyes to the flavors in his cup, and he went down the rabbit hole of home roasting. Today, Lanoca specializes in single-origin coffees from farms worldwide.
“Rather than coming up with blends and giving them weird names for marketing, we tend to embrace the fact that this stuff can change year to year and crop to crop,” Matt says.
WE DID IT! THE WAREHOUSE IS FINALLY FINISHED
If you like a cup of joe as much as I do, you can’t go wrong ordering from Matt. He ships beans and coffee equipment around the country from his website, LanocaCoffee.com. Matt recommends the Lanoca Sampler for people new to the specialty coffee scene. It includes four 6-ounce bags of different coffees of all origins and roast levels. If you’re already into coffee, you can read Matt’s tasting notes, pick your bean, and choose between light, medium, and dark roast to get your perfect cup.
Exactly one year after we first announced our warehouse expansion project in this newsletter, it’s finally finished! The new space is big, beautiful, and fully operational. After months of construction noise and supply chain holdups, we can hardly believe it’s ours. 2021 was a tough year for a construction project. Lumber and other materials were in short supply and labor was hard to find. But our crews persevered through back orders and supply chain issues to get it done. (They also persevered through Josh’s barking dogs, but that’s another story!) As we planned, the warehouse is now 10,800 square feet — double the size of our previous space. The circular driveway lets trucks enter and exit with ease, and we have twice as much shelving to stock your favorite products. It’s so much easier to pull orders, do inventory management, and stay organized with the extra breathing room. Since the grand opening of the new warehouse this winter, we’ve had fewer “out of stock” items on our website and orders have been faster. It’s amazing what a couple thousand square feet of extra space can do! The warehouse expansion can’t make up for supply chain issues, but we can stock more of our most popular items so we rarely run low.
I hope you love this local business as much as I do!
We still have room to grow, too. There’s so much free space that Josh and Marah created a play area for Bennett on the warehouse floor! It’s full of plastic balls, and he loves playing in it while our team does inventory and packs orders (as long as Mom and Dad are nearby).
HAVE A LAUGH!
Bennett is still too young to operate the pallet jack, but it’s only a matter of time. Until then, we’ll keep pushing him around the warehouse in his red Little Tyke car.
If you’re ever in Farmville, North Carolina, we’d love to show you around the new warehouse in person. Just give us a call before you come by.
