The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Peet's Coffee began in Berkeley, California in 1966 when Alfred Peet opened a single store. He roasted dark beans and sold whole coffee to serious drinkers. Peet pioneered the espresso bar model in America, teaching customers to appreciate specialty coffee when instant dominated. The dark roast became his signature. Starbucks founders learned their craft at Peet's before expanding nationally. Today Peet's operates hundreds of locations across the United States and online. The brand ranks first in Food, Beverages & Snacks among 21,133 tracked companies, defining how Americans consume premium coffee.
