Just yesterday, we made an official announcement about opening our latest location in a protected historical monument. That’s pretty big news for any given week. But this isn’t any given week. That’s right, we’ve got more big news: We’re expanding to Portland! Groundwork Coffee has acquired Portland’s original micro-roaster, 42-year-old Kobos Coffee — which laid the foundation for the city’s thriving local specialty coffee scene. This huge move marks the very first expansion outside of L.A. in our quarter-century history. We’ll be bringing you more updates in the coming weeks, but be sure to check out this amazing article from today’s Oregonian.
