Is a specialty coffee and espresso retailer, the second largest in the United States after Starbucks.
Caribou sells coffee, tea, and bakery goods in 415 company-owned coffeehouses in 16 states and the District of Columbia, as well as 126 franchise locations worldwide.
In 1990, on a trip to Denali National Park in Alaska, Caribou Coffee was imagined by newlyweds John and Kim Puckett.
The couple raised money to start the first Caribou Coffee shop in Edina, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, in 1992, 19 years ago.
It has 6000+ employees.
It headquartered at Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
It is Public.
Since opening, the chain has expanded to 415 locations in 16 states and the District of Columbia,[6]making it the second-largest operator of non-franchised coffeehouses in the United States.
This includes 24 licensed locations in the U.S.
The company is now worth $262 million.
On February 28, 2010, Caribou announced a corporate-wide rebranding, and began using their new "coffee bean caribou" logo officially on March 1, 2010.
