Just as coffee has a rich history, so does S&D Coffee. In 1927, just before the Great Depression, J. Roy Davis, Sr. and Lawrence Switzer created a company to provide fresh roasted coffee to local and regional grocery stores. As the company grew, they learned about buying the raw beans, the intricacies of different roasting processes and, especially, the simple but deep pleasure that a quality cup of coffee can bring. By the late 60s, J. Roy Davis, Jr., now succeeding his father as President and CEO, refocused the strategy of S&D. With the expanding influence of a few major national brands in the consumer market, Davis identified opportunities on the commercial side of the coffee business, concentrating on a customer base of restaurants, hospitals, offices and convenience stores instead of small grocery stores. SnD CoffeeIn May of 2000, S&D acquired the Boston, Massachusetts based Victor Coffee. Victor Coffee is the oldest continuous coffee roaster in the nation, dating back to 1796, born out of the aftermath of the Boston Tea Party, the colorful and dramatic protest to taxation without representation. This acquisition allowed S&D to further its development of the New England area. Until the outbreak of World War I, the Victor logo- a Roman chariot in full charge- was the subject of a most original promotional campaign. A life-size portrayal of the chariot, drawn by four white horses and driven by a charioteer, was transported around New England in a specially constructed freight car. The chariot would ride through the main street of each town, coming to rest outside the local store selling Victor Coffee.
