Bruegger's Selects Green Mountain Coffee Roasters as National Supplier.

BURLINGTON, VT. & WATERBURY, VT. -- "Great Coffee Makes a World of Difference(TM)" - Bruegger's to celebrate National Fair Trade Month with free coffee day Oct. 29th

After extensive market testing in a "battle of the beans," Bruegger's has selected Green Mountain

Three coffee roasters competed for Bruegger's business, but Green Mountain Coffee Roasters won the account based on the strength of its brand, consumer preference and its unique Fair Trade position.

"Consumer response to our Green Mountain coffee was overwhelming," said Bruegger's CEO James Greco. "It was clearly the customer favorite. We are excited about partnering with Green Mountain and pleased to offer our guests the choice of Fair Trade certified coffees that can help make a difference for farmers and their families across the globe."

Fair Trade certification guarantees small-scale farmers a fair price for high-quality coffee beans, so they can afford better nutrition, education, and health care for their families. The new partnership makes Bruegger's the largest, national retailer to promote and educate consumers about Fair Trade coffee, and brew it by the cup all day, every day.

"People like to have the power to make a difference with something as simple as a good cup of coffee," said Green Mountain Coffee Roasters CEO Bob Stiller. "This national partnership will make a tremendous difference for coffee drinkers around the country, and for small-scale farmers around the world. I am also looking forward to engaging the store communities to understand how we can make a positive difference there."

"We're very pleased that Bruegger's is giving people a Fair Trade coffee choice," said Paul Rice, President and CEO of TransFair USA. "It's a significant step toward letting more people know they can have a high-quality cup of coffee that also helps improve the lives of small family farmers around the world."

All Bruegger's bakeries will carry at least one Fair Trade Certified(TM) coffee each day, including the popular Rainforest Nut(R) and French Roast blends. In addition to Fair Trade coffees, guests can choose from Bruegger's House Blend, Bruegger's House Decaf, Hazelnut and French Vanilla. A changing rotation of five "seasonal" Fair Trade Certified coffees will be offered as a way to add variety and increase consumer excitement. Selected locations will also feature a full line of Fair Trade espresso and cappuccino drinks.

Greco added that the introduction of Green Mountain coffee caps off a busy year of changes at Bruegger's. "Essentially, we've relaunched Bruegger's over the past year. From our extensive new menu items and new bakery design, our goal has been to change with evolving trends and keep the product line fresh with new ideas. The addition of a quality line of Fair Trade coffee is complimentary to our new line of salads, stone hearth breads, carb-friendly wraps and sandwiches."

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is a socially responsible leader in the specialty coffee industry and is committed to improving the quality of life, both locally and globally. The Vermont company donates at least five percent of all pre-tax profits to social and environmental projects that "make a world of difference." This commitment was one of the factors in winning Bruegger's business.

All of Bruegger's 242 bakeries will be offering Green Mountain coffee by the end of October. In honor of National Fair Trade Month, all Bruegger's bakeries will offer a day of FREE COFFEE on Friday, October 29. Bruegger's will make a donation to Coffee Kids, an international non-profit established to improve the lives of children and families in coffee-growing communities around the world.
