The company sells coffee, both ready-made and in packages, as well as brand-related apparel and merchandise.

Black Rifle recently opened its first company-owned, brick-and-mortar, free-standing shop at 180 W. Bitters Road, and it is considering adding three locations in San Antonio, Horgan said.

Its next location will be near the Encino Ranch neighborhood by U.S. Highway 281 near Bulverde and Evans roads, where the company will explore its first double drive-thru concept shop and will include retail space. It also has active letters of agreement for real estate in Alamo Ranch and off Interstate 35 near Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Air Force Base, Horgan said.

Black Rifle Coffee has another licensed store in Boerne owned by a friend of Executive Vice President Mat Best, who is one of the company’s founders, as well as another retail and coffee store in Salt Lake City and its roasting facility in Manchester, Tennessee.
