Odeko Expands Its Southern Footprint with Atlanta Coffee Supply Group Acquisition
Odeko Acquires Atlanta Coffee Supply Group
In a significant move to reaffirm its position in the U.S. coffee and beverage market, Odeko has successfully acquired the Atlanta Coffee Supply Group (ACSG), a prominent distributor known for its high-quality coffee and tea products. This acquisition is a strategic enhancement for Odeko, which proudly serves thousands of local coffee shops, cafes, and food businesses nationwide. The deal, finalized on August 21, 2025, marks a pivotal step in Odeko's mission to strengthen its presence in the Southeastern United States.
The Legacy of Atlanta Coffee Supply Group
Founded 30 years ago by Jonathan Silver, ACSG has nurtured a robust reputation in the Atlanta hospitality and foodservice sector. Silver identified a gap in the market back when chefs were limited to serving dull, institutional coffee after their culinary masterpieces. In response, ACSG focused on distributing freshly roasted coffee, exquisite iced teas, and providing the essential brewing equipment and cafe supplies needed by restaurants and cafes. The company's customer roster includes esteemed local favorites like Farm Burger and Gusto!, further burgeoning its local appeal.
The integration of ACSG into Odeko allows for the expansion of both entities. ACSG’s loyal clientele can now access Odeko's advanced ordering platform, which enhances the efficiency with which they manage orders, inventory, and payments. Besides, they will retain their access to ACSG's proprietary Lakehouse Coffee brand alongside brewed Blue Durango Iced Tea, available exclusively through Odeko.
A Vision for the Future
Dane Atkinson, CEO and Founder of Odeko, expressed enthusiasm regarding the acquisition by noting, “ACSG's commitment to quality, service, and local relationships resonates with our own values.” By merging strengths, they will not only preserve but enhance the legacy of coffee culture in the region. The newly integrated platform promises to streamline operational processes for cafe owners and boost overall customer satisfaction.
Following the acquisition, Odeko customers in the Atlanta area will now have the opportunity to enjoy offerings such as Lakehouse Coffee and Blue Durango Iced Tea, all easily accessible through Odeko's intuitive service platform. This consolidation of ordering, delivery, and inventory management aims to simplify operations, thus allowing local business owners to focus more on what they do best—serve their customers.
Community and Culture Building
To celebrate this important milestone, Odeko organized a Latte Art Throwdown at the Wild Heaven Beer West End Brewery Gardens in Atlanta on August 16. This spirited event showcased the vibrant local coffee culture and brought together community members, including ACSG and Odeko clients such as Bellwood Coffee and Café Fwi. More than 300 attendees enjoyed an exciting mix of artistry and camaraderie, reinforcing Odeko's commitment to fostering local connections and supporting the coffee community.
Events like this not only underline Odeko’s position as a leader in the coffee supply chain but also reflect its commitment to enhancing the local coffee scene. Similar throwdowns held in cities like Dallas and Denver earlier this year have cemented Odeko's role in building a thriving coffee culture across the U.S.
Odeko's Comprehensive Offerings
As an all-in-one operations and technology partner, Odeko delivers unparalleled support to more than 17,000 independent food and beverage businesses. The platform allows customers access to a diverse catalog of products ranging from national staples to local artisan brands, viewing trends in ordering, financing equipment, and even acquiring insurance—all from one location. Odeko's solutions not only aid in increasing revenues for local businesses but also help reduce their environmental footprint and streamline vendor management tasks.
With over $280 million in equity and backing from prestigious venture capital firms, Odeko is well-positioned for further growth and innovation in the food and beverage industry.
In Conclusion
The acquisition of Atlanta Coffee Supply Group by Odeko sets the stage for a new era, not just for both companies, but for the countless local businesses that will benefit from enhanced services and community-oriented support. As they embark on this new chapter together, the collaborative impact of Odeko and ACSG promises to elevate coffee culture in the Southeastern United States and beyond.
