History
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters began in 1981 as a small café in Waitsfield Vermont, roasting and serving coffee. Demand for the coffee grew, with local restaurants and inns asking to be supplied as well. While the original café is no longer owned by Green Mountain Coffee, the company now maintains its headquarters in Waterbury, Vermont where it has a 90,000-square-foot (8,400 m2) roasting and distribution facility. The company’s operations are supplemented by regional distribution centers in Maine, Upstate New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
In October 2006, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters opened a Visitors' Center and Café within the restored Waterbury Train Station.
