History
On Sept. 11, 2010, Alpha Coffee was co-founded by LTC(R) Carl Churchill, a combat veteran with 21 years of service as both an enlisted soldier and officer, and his wife Lori Churchill, a military spouse and coffee lover. The company started out as Lock-n-Load Java, selling exclusively over the web. In 2016 the company rebranded to Alpha Coffee, selling both online and via other retailers. In June 2017, Alpha opened their first coffee shop, staying close to home with their first location at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. As part of our mission, we donate and send coffee to deployed troops. Since our founding, we've sent over 10,000 bags of coffee downrange. Alpha Coffee loves and supports our local community, while welcoming adventure seekers from around the world who love great coffee.
