Give Back Thursday: April

Northeast Arkansas Region (Jonesboro-Paragould) in April:

Our stores in the NEA region donated the Give Back Thursday proceeds to tornado relief in Wynne, AR. The Wynne community suffered significant physical and psychological damage from a recent tornado that leveled the local high school, displaced thousands of citizens from their homes, and caused significant damage to various churches and countless businesses. We say thank you to our customers for helping us support a community in desperate need.

Conway, AR, in April:

From our team in Conway, the allocated proceeds in April went to Haven “Every Child Deserves A Home.” Haven is a Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP) for teenage girls in Arkansas foster care. Their residents range in ages 12-18 and have all experienced severe trauma. They accept children into their program from every county in Arkansas. We’re thrilled to see such support from our customers and to embolden our teams to help companies like Haven. Visit their website, havenconway.org, to learn more and donate separately.

Humble Beginnings

From a Cali guy to an Arkansas business owner — what a journey it has been! Larry (Shadrachs founder and CEO) and his wife, Risa, are both originally from the West Coast, but they packed up and planted roots in Jonesboro, AR with the dream of opening a coffee company in the Arkansas Delta. 

Coffee culture in Jonesboro in the early 2000s was almost non-existent. There were no Starbucks, no Instagram to share complicated recipes and aesthetic drinks, and definitely no coffee roasters in NEA. Larry brought a completely foreign business concept to the area and trusted that God would bring his family through the tough years of starting up his dream coffee company. 

With a mission to fuel souls in a chaotic world, Larry put his head down to work hard (and pray harder) through those first few years. His product alone is worthy of the hype, but what made his business stand out was the way he treated customers. Each customer is treated like a part of the Shadrachs family. 

Larry operates his business with people as the number one focus, but great coffee and fun vibes are sure to follow.

The Road Rad Shaddy

Energy drinks have quickly become a staple in the lives of most Americans. Whether you are a busy college student or a sleep-deprived employee, energy drinks keep many of us going through our endless to-do lists.

In 2018, Shadrachs Coffee introduced the flavor-infused energy drink concept to our kiosks. Flavors were limited at the launch, but we continued to add new flavor options and combinations as customer excitement increased. The energy drink menu at Shadrachs eventually grew to now include over 15 Signature Flavor combinations and hundreds of custom combination possibilities. 

Over the years, the demand for energy drinks continues to increase and has become a staple to our company operations. It became apparent that creating our own branded energy to serve in our kiosks was the direction we were headed. We began the process of searching for a manufacturer and developing a recipe in early 2022. After extensive research and planning, a team traveled to our manufacturing facility for a final taste testing and production of our drink, and the Rad Shaddy was born.

Roast Highlight: Dark French

We have found the ULTIMATE espresso roast — the Dark French Blend. It boasts a BOLD flavor that stands out from our competitors in the modern coffee wave of light roasts. The Dark French is a secret blend of 100% Arabica beans that gives us the best base for our sweet espresso drinks. It is bold enough to stand out against our sweet flavor combinations yet smooth enough to blend perfectly in each specialty drink.

This blend has been freshly roasted by us in Jonesboro, AR from the first days of Shadrachs Coffee in 2004, and won out as the best espresso roast to serve in every specialty drink at Shadrachs. While we love a good light roast, the bold flavor of our Dark French just feels like home.

You can even enjoy this signature roast at home. The Dark French, along with all of our roasts, is available by the bag in stores and online.
