The Global Bean Shed (GBS) is a union of small coffee roasters who are passionate about coffee freshness over production.
GBS will negotiate nationwide supplies and services that create the greatest possible upfront discount for participating small coffee roasters so they will receive the maximum monetary gain while producing the freshest available coffee for their customers.
There’s a new force to contend with, and it’s today’s small coffee roaster. It’s a new and powerful force because rather than ordering supplies such as bags, beans, and shipping as one roaster, you will be part of a large group of quality roasters unionized under the name Global Bean Shed (GBS) – one of many. Our motto is “Passion over Production.”
GBS’ job is to protect small roasters’ profits and to look for new and creative ways to save the small roaster money upfront before the big box store mark-ups. In addition to union representation, you will have an online presence that links back to your website where you control the price and freshness of your coffee. For those who do not have a website or digital graphics, GBS can point you to the pro who assists us with our site. He will create a beautiful site and graphics for your business at a fair discounted GBS price.
GBS is currently in its infancy with a few committed roasters. It exists for roasters, by roasters, and will adjust its mission based on the needs of roasters. GBS is currently building its membership so that great rates can be negotiated with suppliers and shippers. Better rates are more likely for a group of 1000 roasters than 10 roasters.
To build this unionized body of roasters, GBS is offering a FREE six-month membership worth over $300. After the six-month period, if you wish to discontinue your union participation but maintain a catalog presence for the public to visit your site, you can do so for only $25/month. If you wish to continue your association with the GBS union, capitalize on the union discounts, and receive a free catalog listing, the price is $50/month.
These prices are set and will not change in the future. Your benefits will be based on your monthly advanced payment charged to a credit card with NO contracts or commitments. Give yourself greater buying power and save upfront money, by joining GBS and becoming one of many.
Global Bean Shed Vision Statement
The Global Bean Shed (GBS) will unite all members into one strong union that will continuously negotiate discounted upfront rates from suppliers nationwide as our membership grows. Our members will be known for producing the market’s freshest coffee available for a fair price to the customer and with a maximum monetary return to the roaster. Our members’ coffee will be available online directly to the customer from the roaster, thus eliminating the middleman to ensure freshness. The union will be run by roasters for roasters, and will adapt to the needs of roasters.
