Star8 Corporation, the makers of Café Domino, proudly announces that it is under negotiation to acquire an established roaster with a rich history in New England with distribution across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Pino Impagliazzo, Chief Executive Officer of Café Domino, remarked, "This acquisition is a testament to our dedication to strengthening our footprint nationwide. With this integration, we aim to scale our operations significantly. Deeply rooted in the rich Italian and Latin coffee cultures, we have learned the importance of quality, authenticity, and the shared experience that coffee brings. By acquiring this roaster, we are excited to infuse these cultural influences into new markets, ensuring that the passion and flavor of Café Domino reach even more people."
Café Domino, known for its ground, whole bean, and coffee pod products, currently serves over 350 accounts, including boutiques, grocery retailers, and large restaurant chains. Recent distribution deals will place Café Domino products in nearly 100 locations across Florida, with plans to reach an additional 120 supermarkets within the next year.
"In just a few years, Café Domino has secured over 350 accounts and is in an aggressive growth stage with the goal to become the coffee of choice nationwide," added Impagliazzo. "The production capability of the roaster is approximately 8 million tons of coffee annually."
New England boasts a vibrant coffee culture with deep historical roots. Coffee houses in cities like Boston became central to social and political life from the 17th century onwards. Over the years, the region has nurtured numerous high-quality roasters, many of which started as small, family-run businesses and grew into iconic brands.
The roaster that Café Domino is negotiating to acquire has been an integral part of this tradition for decades, known for its commitment to quality and tradition. This roaster has supplied some of the biggest names in the industry and played a significant role in the community through local events, charitable efforts, and educational initiatives like tours, tastings, and workshops.
