In 1999, Heine Brothers' became a founding member of Cooperative Coffees, Inc., [12] [13] an importer of fairly traded and organically grown green coffee operating in the United States and Canada. [7]

In November 2016, the company relocated its roasting facilities and headquarters to Louisville's Portland neighborhood. [15] [16]

In August 2017, Heine Brothers' partnered with WDRB , a local, Fox -affiliated television station, to distribute eclipse glasses for the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 . Funds raised from the promotion, totaling $50,702, were donated to the Louisville Science Center . [17] [18]

In 2021, the company expanded with one more shop in Valley Station . [19]

On May 10, 2022, several Heine Brothers workers announced their intention to form a union. [20] On March 17, 2023, the workers' union ratified their first collective bargaining agreement with the company. [21]
