We are a vet owned and operated company dedicated to our military, our veterans, and those who support them. We were founded in 2010 by LTC(R) Carl Churchill, a combat veteran with 21 years of service as both an enlisted soldier and officer.

From the start, Carl wanted to create a different kind of company guided by the principles he lived by… work hard, do good, give back, and make it fun. In founding Lock-n-Load Java, he committed to organizing and running the company based on the experiences that a lifetime of service leadership in the military taught him… while ensuring the fun and camaraderie he experienced in the military remained a core part of the company as well.

Lock-n-Load Java is made up of like-minded individuals who support this vision. All have committed to being part of a company that consistently provides outstanding, top grade premium coffee and serves its community of customers, its employees, and its suppliers with dignity, respect and integrity.
