Juan Valdez Secures Nationwide Expansion with Walgreens

Juan Valdez Secures Nationwide Expansion with Major Walgreens Retail Partnership

Green Coffee Company more than doubles U.S. retail footprint, placing authentic Colombian coffee in over 1,400 pharmacy locations nationwide

OAK BROOK, Illinois — March 19, 2026  —  The Green Coffee Company (GCC) has achieved a major commercial milestone in its ongoing U.S. market expansion, securing placement for Juan Valdez products in 1,407 Walgreens stores across the country.

The nationwide retail placement represents approximately 17% of Walgreens' total footprint, effectively doubling GCC’s U.S. retail presence for the Juan Valdez brand. This key win brings the brand's total distribution footprint to more than 2,500 retail stores within its first year of entering the U.S. retail market.

The initial Walgreens launch focuses on two flagship freeze-dried coffee offerings, positioning the brand to generate strong annual recurring revenue. GCC has also identified an additional 300 Walgreens locations in high-density Hispanic markets for potential near-term footprint expansion as consumer demand builds.

This award marks a significant milestone in the company's overall U.S. market strategy. As GCC continues to expand across regional grocery chains and strategic commercial channels, this national pharmacy presence offers a high-impact platform to rapidly scale brand reach and consumer engagement.

Building on similar momentum seen across national retail accounts like Target, GCC expects strong initial shelf movement, opening up clear pathways to broaden the product line, increase store density, and expand dedicated shelf space over time.

Juan Valdez products are scheduled to hit Walgreens shelves nationwide shortly. Consumers can also explore available selections online directly via Walgreens.com.
