Northwest Coffee Roasting

After the Great Recession, Jason Wilson traveled the world and saw that there was only one bulletproof industry: coffee.

Jason set out to do three things. First, put a coffee shop on the northside of St. Louis to promote it as an urban domestic emerging market. Second, inspire others to take the risk and make their own move. Lastly, spread great medium roast coffee around St. Louis. Through the ups and downs, Jason and Northwest Coffee secured the social capital that fueled their growth in and through the pandemic. Multiple locations, innovative storytelling and bold moves… all because of great medium roast coffee.
