Heine Brothers' is an American chain of coffee shops founded in 1994 by Gary Heine and Mike Mays in Louisville, Kentucky. Since then, the chain has opened 13 locations within Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The company became "100% Fair-Trade & Organic" in 2002. 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.
In 1999, Heine Brothers' became a founding member of Cooperative Coffees, Inc., an importer of fairly traded and organically grown green coffee operating in the United States and Canada. 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.
In late 2016, the company will be relocating their headquarters to West Louisville.
