Our Story
Our Mission
It has always been our company’s charter to be an outstanding family oriented company. Not because many of us are Lowerys, but to create an organization that is self sustaining and supportive of all its people and its customers in the way that a strong family cares for and supports its members. We feel that we have succeeded in our goal through offering, the highest quality products and superior service. We are committed to our customers receiving the freshest, highest quality product in the coffee industry.
In 1980 the company was founded by Don Lowery. He spent his entire life in the food business. Twenty years with Oroweat Foods where he was the Northwest Regional Sales/Marketing Director. After leaving Oroweat Don looked around for a product which he could offer to customers that he could be excited about. A lifelong fan of great coffee, he embarked on the learning and growth experience that brings you Lowery’s as it is today.
Our roasting facility is in Everett. We produce a full line of Gourmet Whole Bean Coffee. Our coffee is 100% Arabica, the finest green coffee from around the world. We have custom roasters and a state of the art after burner; designed to the highest of environmental standards. Our coffee is never burnt or bitter and our blending is extremely consistent year in and year out.
Lowery’s currently directly serves Washington, Idaho and Western Montana. We ship product all over the USA. We roast over 100 varietals and blends of Gourmet Coffee. We sell bulk coffee, packaged coffee, 1.5 oz. perfect pots, and produce some of the best espresso blends to be found.
We started this web project as an adjunct to our shipping business. As our customers move around we have begun shipping extensively in response to our customers who said, “We can’t get our favorite coffees here.”
Lowery’s is a family company. In addition to our founder Don Lowery, his two sons, Jerry and Mike Lowery followed suit in the family business. Jerry’s wife, Denise, also partook in the family business in the accounting and bookkeeping relm. Denise’s brother, Duane, worked with Jerry as a roaster while Mike worked in sales operations.
Now Lowery’s Coffee Company has been acquired by Bargreen’s Coffee Company, a company over 100 years old and also a family business. Denise is still with Lowery’s both filling orders and working in the office. Duane continues to roaster and Mike act as the salesman, both delivering and taking orders.
If you call Lowerys chances are good that you will speak to a Lowery. This company has all our names on it and we are proud of it.
