The international coffee franchise to feature in nine Marine bases across the States.
PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans, the international coffee franchise with over 100 stores in 13 states in the U.S., as well as locations in Vietnam and Kuwait, has partnered with Sodexo, a provider of food services, to feature PJ’s coffee in select United States Marine Corps bases spanning from California to South Carolina.
Alongside the new initiative, PJ’s Coffee has introduced a new coffee blend – Sunrise Salute – and has donated to Fisher House Foundation, a non-profit organization, which will directly benefit the building of comfort homes where military and veterans families can stay, free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital.
“Fisher House Foundation thanks PJ’s Coffee for supporting the New Orleans Fisher House,” said chairman and CEO of Fisher House Foundation, Ken Fisher. “PJ’s understands the importance of keeping military families together at a critical time – when loved ones are receiving care in VA and military hospitals.”
PJ’s Coffee anticipates that this new partnership will allow the brand to serve active military 48,600 pounds of coffee per year, which is the equivalent of 2.4 million eight-ounce cups. The Marine Corps camps serving PJ’s Coffee include:
- Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton (CA)
- Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego (CA)
- Marine Corps Air Station Yuma (AZ)
- Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms (CA)
- Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center Bridgeport (CA)
- Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (NC)
- Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island (SC)
- Marine Corps Base Quantico (VA)
- Marine Corps Air Station Miramar (CA)
“The PJ’s family includes many U.S. veterans which makes this partnership with the Marine Corps that much more exciting for us,” says Peter Boylan, president of PJ’s Coffee and U.S. Army veteran. “We have a passion for supporting our military community and are thrilled that we can give a taste of our coffee to our brave men and women in uniform in conjunction with Sodexo’s expertise in serving our troops in bases across the country.”
