Wegmans Food Markets, Inc., an 84-store chain based in Gates, New York, is carrying three organic Marley Coffee whole bean offerings in its stores in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Brookshire Grocery Company, a supermarket chain based in Tyler, Texas, will carry two Marley Coffee blends in both 8oz ground bag and RealCups format in 40 stores in Texas.

Rohan Marley, Founder and Chairman of Marley Coffee, said, "Each of these four grocery chains has inspired a loyal and robust regional following, thanks to their extremely high-quality offerings and commitment to great relationships with their customers. We look forward to developing our relationships with these chains and introducing our products to their discerning clientele."
Brent Toevs, CEO of Marley Coffee, said, "We believe that our focus on growing distribution with chains like these is essential in attracting new customers who are looking for a quality coffee experience. Wegmans was one of the key supermarket chains in our plans to increase our presence at retail groceries, and now that we are on the shelf, we have great penetration in the major anchor Northeast accounts.
