Paul Peterson’s Story
Is there anything better than coffee on the beach.
When I decided to launch into the coffee business, I wanted to bring that "coffee on the beach" feeling to as many people as possible. That is Wake Oasis Coffee.
I believe that we are in the people business and coffee is what we sell. We, as Wake Oasis Owners, have a unique opportunity to beachy vibes to thousands of people each week through our award winning brand, amazing service and delicious drinks. Whether Wake Oasis Coffee customers come through drive thru, dine in, or wake up to Wake Oasis Coffee in a hotel or hospitality setting, we always deliver beachy cups of joy.
Jeff Vojta’s Story
I first discovered coffee during my college days. One day I received my first bag of hazelnut-flavored coffee as a housewarming gift and it was unlike any other coffee I ever had in richness, flavor and cup quality. I was hooked.
In 1994 I opened my first coffee shop and then began roasting coffee beans in 1995. I expanded my retail operations to four locations and a roasting plant and in 2000, I exited retail to focus on wholesale roasting and distribution with Stockton Graham & Co. in Raleigh, NC.
The most joyful elements of my work have been helping hundreds of entrepreneurs realize their coffee and business dreams, training team members to learn new skills and watching them as they fall in love with coffee and every part of the business.
Working through our direct-trade program to directly source over 40 percent of our usage has helped our farmers increase their average revenue over 50 percent.
It is more than just a cup of coffee. It truly is a cup of joy.
