LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A Henderson coffee shop owner didn’t break a sweat as he roasted a new batch of beans at 450°F for his cold brew, now sold by a major grocery chain which is giving him a shot on their store shelves.
Kyle Porterfield, owner of Dark Moon Roasters , announced Thursday that two of their cold brew labels, the Lunar Blend and the Sumatra Blend, would be hitting Sprouts Farmers Market shelves—with the hope of pressing further.
“This is a huge milestone for us,” Porterfield said. “We have been in Whole Foods now for over two years for our coffee bags and cold brew products. Now being in Sprouts that bumps that store account up substantially.”
The nationwide grocery store brand stretches to 13 locations in the Las Vegas valley, and Portfield said they can keep up with the demand from their single store location.
“We do partner with two businesses locally in town that do distribution, one, mainly for the cold brew drinks,” he said. “It’s always about trying to find the right fit. We don’t want to do anything too quick and rushed.”
