Beyond that, they need to display the major pillars that are the hallmarks of any good entrepreneur:- Innovation and technology
- Growth
- Leadership
- Impact
- Business valuation
How Joe’s Garage Coffee Excels in Each Major Area of Entrepreneurship
Based on the results of a comprehensive study, Entrepreneur Magazine identified Joe’s Garage Coffee as one of the “Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America.” The list contained a diverse selection of impressive, privately held companies across a variety of industries. However, to be counted as a successful business took more than just revenue numbers. We had to show that we’re well-rounded and that we’ve pushed the envelope with our innovative ideas, fostered strong company values, and impacted our community and industry for the better. We’ve excelled at each of the areas required to win this high honor:- Innovation: We pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve when it comes to state-of-the-art technology and services. However, it’s our commitment to a customizable program designed for each of our clients that’s the real innovation. Other companies tell you what you need. We actively listen to create an individualized manufacturing plan that perfectly suits the desires of our customers.
- Growth: We’ve seen a lot of growth in our 20-plus years. We’ve expanded our facility to include Roast-to-Order, Co-Packaging, and Toll-Roasting services, plus added expert staff to ensure we create each product to the most exacting standards. However, where we count our true growth is in our ability to provide our customers with benefits they won’t be able to find with any other coffee contract manufacturer.
- Leadership: The private label coffee and contract manufacturing industry is extremely competitive, and we’ve set the standard. We believe that true leadership is producing great products for our clients and providing friendly and attentive service that they can rely on.
- Impact: You can see the impact we’ve had on this industry in the thousands of happy clients we’ve served and the hundreds of millions of products we’ve expertly produced. No matter how exacting the standards, regulations, or specifications, our highly qualified staff always ensures that our client’s brand stands for superior quality.
- Business valuation: Any value we’ve earned as a business is because we understand the value of outstanding service. We aren’t the largest coffee contract manufacturer. However, with our ability to meet any needs our customers have, we’ve proven time and time again that we lead the way in this industry.
