FAQ

WHERE DOES PAPANICHOLAS COFFEE GET ITS NAME?
PapaNicholas Coffee is named for its founder, Nicholas A. Papanicholas. Nicholas, better known as Nick, was in the coffee business for more than 50 years. He began working for Aroma Coffee Co., a company that his father, Angelo, started in 1915. In 1983, Nick left Aroma Coffee in pursuit of his own dream, his own company.

IS IT TRUE THAT PAPANICHOLAS FAMILY MEMBERS STILL OVERSEE THE BUSINESS?
Yes, when Nick started the PapaNicholas Coffee Company in 1984, there was a very small group who assisted him, made up almost exclusively of family members. While the business has grown over the years, additional resources were required and Nick brought in people with a passion for the coffee business, most of whom were friends and family. Today, there are family members involved in all aspects of the business, including quality assurance, purchasing and procurement, production, sales and executive management.
