The Human Bean
The Human Bean is an American national coffee company and coffeehouse chain based in Medford, Oregon. The Human Bean has 100 drive-thru coffee locations [1] in 11 U.S. states.
History
In 1998, The Human Bean opened its first store in Ashland, Oregon.[1] In early 2002, the company began franchising their brand throughout southern Oregon and nationwide.[1]
The Human Bean has 100 locations, of which 87 are franchised and 13 are corporate owned.[1] The franchise is located in 11 U.S. states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Kentucky and Washington.[2]
The Human Bean has their own coffee sourcing program called Farm Friendly Direct. This program works directly with farmers around the world to form long-term relationships and support the farming community. This ensures a good supply of coffee beans from the farmers and helps the farming community have a better life. Some of the projects have been building water systems, schools and community centers, paying teachers wages and providing schools supplies. Farm Friendly Direct funds have built a water treatment plant in Guatemala, completed deep solar water wells in Tanzania and Kenya, planted 15,000 trees in the region of El Salvador, built a new schoolhouse and supported the salary of a teacher in the Papua New Guinea community.[3]
While most locations are drive through only, there are a few locations that offer indoor seating in addition to the drive through. [4]
The chain sponsors women's[5] and men's health initiatives.[6] Its chief operating officer is Scott Anderson.[7]
