2013-11-05 Henderson Coffee

Muskogee, Oklahoma, United States

Robert Henderson, founder of Henderson Coffee, had a successful career with Cains Coffee from 1923 - 1944. Leaving the comfort of his Vice President position at Cain's he bid farewell and purchased Hudson Coffee Company located in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He changed the name to Henderson Coffee and we have been successfully roasting coffee and serving customers in the region ever since! Shortly after purchasing the company from Robert Henderson's son Chubb in 1996, Mark Plaster and Mark Truitt started pursuing an aggressive growth strategy to fill the vacuum left by Sara Lee's purchase of Cain's coffee in 1999. Henderson Coffee strives to shine as the 'hero' for customers that miss the taste, service and relationship they had back-in-the-day with their local coffee roaster.
