Fire Department Coffee, a veteran-owned company, will debut its popular roasts at over 2,300 Walmart stores nationwide this June after earning a spot through Walmart's competitive "Open Call" event. Founded in 2016 by firefighter/paramedic and U.S. Navy veteran Luke Schneider, the company focuses on roasting premium coffee and supporting sick or injured firefighters through its charitable foundation. The company's products, including Original Medium Roast, Skull-Crushing Espresso, Shellback Espresso, and Black Cherry Bourbon Infused Coffee, will be available in both ground and single-serve pods. This partnership with Walmart not only introduces Fire Dept. Coffee to a broader audience but also creates jobs in Rockford, Illinois, where the company is based. Walmart's "Investing in American Jobs" initiative played a crucial role in this development, showcasing the brand's commitment to supporting American jobs and communities. Fire Dept. Coffee continues to grow, serving millions of coffee lovers and expanding its social media presence.
