Heine Brothers' is an American chain of coffee shops founded in 1994 by Gary Heine and Mike Mays in Louisville, Kentucky.[1] Since then, the chain has opened 13 locations within Kentucky and Southern Indiana.[2] The company became "100% Fair-Trade & Organic" in 2002.[3] In 2011, co-founder Mike Mays bought out Mr. Heine's interests in the company and merged it with Vint, a local coffee shop chain.[4]

Heine Brothers' location in The Highlands

In 1999, Heine Brothers' became a founding member of Cooperative Coffees, Inc.,[5] an importer of fairly traded and organically grown green coffee operating in the United States and Canada.[3] In early 2015, in a partnership with Forecastle Foundation and Whole Foods Market, Heine Brothers' created "Kentucky Dream", a fair trade coffee blend benefiting conservation efforts.[6]

In late 2016, the company will be relocating their headquarters to West Louisville.[7]
