As journalists around America continue to cover Stumptown’s newly minted investment partnership with TSG, we’re provided with yet more antidote to the clod-like and deeply biased “coverage” from Esquire’s popular blog, “Food For Men Who Are So Masculine They Want To Make Sure You Know They Are Men – Shut Up, I’ll Kick Your Ass, Wuss”.

“It looks like a big year for Stumptown Coffee Roasters. The Portland, Ore., company, known for getting some of the finest coffee in the world and serving it with rock โ€˜nโ€™ roll flair, plans to open two coffee bars in Brooklyn, add a bottling facility to its roaster in Red Hook for its cold-brewed coffee and, Duane Sorenson, Stumptownโ€™s founder, says the company will try to open roasters in Chicago and San Francisco.

All of this is possible because of an investment from TSG Consumer Partners, a private equity firm that has invested in several successful brands”.
