Portsmouth, VA (September 2, 2011) Tidewater Coffee, Inc has purchased all equipment and the rights to service all of First Colony Coffee and Tea’s retail and commercial accounts from Richmond all the way to Hatteras Village on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the many points in between.

“We are very excited about this acquisition, having distributed some of First Colony’s products for more than 15 years we know the quality of clients that they have and to have the blessing of our former competitor to provide coffee services to their clients, only shows the trust in the quality of our management team and the character of our employees who interact with our clients on a daily basis”, states Justin Dennis and partner Clay Reske of Tidewater Coffee, Inc.

Tidewater Coffee, Inc. wants to clear the confusion out of the air that First Colony’s customers might have knowing that their coffee provider has been purchased.  Tidewater Coffee, Inc’s commitment is to our clients old and new.  Tidewater Coffee, Inc. wants to ensure that customers and employees will not miss a cup of coffee, tea or specialty product that has been served or provided to them over the years.
