Caribou Coffee was founded in 1992 in Edina, Minnesota, as a cozy alternative to larger coffee chains with a focus on premium roasts, warm atmospheres, and community engagement. The brand quickly gained popularity throughout the Midwest and expanded nationally. In 2012, Caribou was taken private by JAB Holding Company, a global investment firm that also owns Panera Bread and Peet’s Coffee. Today, Caribou operates both corporate and franchise locations and is part of Panera Brands, one of the largest fast casual restaurant groups in the U.S.
