Firegrounds Coffee Co., a company founded in 2019 by Dallas firefighters Paul Clark and Kyle Lund, will expand into more than 326 Walmart stores in Texas in late July.
Clark and Lund are both veterans of the U.S. military. Clark said he got the idea for the company while he was deployed in Iraq, where he was frustrated with the subpar coffee that was available to service members. "I just got tired of all the substandard coffee that they were sending us," Clark said. "So I decided when I got back to my civilian job as a Dallas firefighter, I was going to start my own coffee company.
In addition to the expansion into Walmart stores, Firegrounds Coffee Co. is also available online and at select retailers in Texas.
