Galway coffee producer secures Lidl contract worth €500k

Thu, Aug 26, 2021

Lidl has announced a deal worth €500,000 with local Galway business, The Galway Roast, to supply its network of 210 stores across the island of Ireland. The 12-month contract will see family-run The Galway Roast’s delicious hand roasted blend of Guatemalan, Brazilian, and Honduran coffee stocked exclusively on Lidl shelves from next Thursday, bringing barista quality coffee to homes in Galway and beyond.

Having first opened as a small coffee shop in Tuam in 2008, The Galway Roast owner, Niall Murphy, bought a small 1 kilo roaster which he set up on site to develop his own signature coffee blend. Spending his evenings experimenting with different coffee beans and flavour combinations, often taste testing with his regular local customers, the artisan producer crafted the perfect coffee flavour. That same signature blend can now be found exclusively on Lidl shelves across the country.
