A Juiced Up Coffee Business: Adding Coffee Roasting to your Established Business

When Manny Carral opened his San Antonio‑based juice shop ten years ago, he never imagined coffee could become 30% of his overall business. Today, Manny not only sells his own coffee, he roasts too, and he’s poised to install a second Bellwether roaster to keep up with growing customer demand at his three locations.
