WE KNEW THERE HAD TO BE MORE...
In 2018 we were going through the motions of life without actually living it. C.J was working at a corporate job that wasn't a fit and I was a running several side gigs while being a mom to 4 boys.
Most nights we went to bed knowing something was missing. Ten years earlier we had taken a risk and it hadn't worked out and we just didn't know if we could go down that path again. We weren't happy but we had a comfortable life, and if I'm being honest, we were scared.
When we realized it was actually possible to open and run our own coffee drive thru, a spark ignited in our hearts that we couldn't dim. As our mission for Outsider came together and it was time to go all in we were scared but we knew our answer had to be YES!
Jackson County, OR was one of the most saturated areas for coffee drive thrus in the country. In order to make our way in such a highly competitive market, we had to find a way to stand out. We knew if we could make it there, we could make it anywhere.
Three years and almost 3 locations later we're happy to report we've built a strong brand that is truly making an impact, in person and online.

THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET
We can't talk about being a people first company if we don't give you the foundation to build and serve an incredible team.
Our team and our culture has been the result of leading with vulnerability and humility. It has also been built on a foundation of solid systems which is why we're excited to teach you everything we know.
YOUR GREATEST OPPORTUNITY
When you open the doors of your first Outsider Coffee drive-thru, something incredible will happen. You'll start meeting customers, you'll learn about their lives and what they love, you'll be a part of their highs and lows. You'll celebrate with them and somedays you might even cry with them.
You'll greet them with a smile and hand them their favorite drink with a "Wake Up Word" hand written on the top. You'll facilitate pay it forward chains that last for hours. You'll host "Power Hours" that allow area businesses to buy customers coffee and see the incredible generosity of the human spirit in action.
This journey will change you, and then - it will change your community.
