During a business trip to the Middle East, Jason Araghi had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring Saudi Arabia its first gourmet coffeehouse, and opened the Art Nouveau Cafe in 1996.
U.S. Army personnel at nearby Eskan Village caught word about the new coffeehouse, and soon after, invited Jason to open a cafe on the US Army base. Within months of operating at Eskan Village, the Air Force extended an invitation for a further 3 locations at the Prince Sultan Air Base, in Al-Kharj KSA.
Today, GBCC Inc. serves military personnel in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Qatar, Uzbekistan, and Djibouti, Africa. The company has not only grown in locations, but also in its mission to support our men and women in uniform.
Every corporate mission statement reads like a litany of values too good to argue with, yet too ordinary to matter. Not ours.

What a great story....I poked around their website and I like what they are doing....I have not had their coffee but I have a feeling it tastes great !!!!
I just moved to Dallas and have discovered Community Coffee, we do not have that up north.....
Yep, I may have to order some online just ‘cause. I don’t know what Community Coffee is - I’m still up north. Ah well, what’s a little sun when you’ve got plenty of water?!
Always good to visit the Green Beans @ Anaconda prior to spreading some Christianity outside the wire.....
I hope the coffee taste as good as the mission staement.If so,starux might be in more trouble than they realize.Since starsux would not send coffee to our troops overseas I have boycotted them and will continue to do so.
Really.A leftist owned company would send coffee to the troops?Surrrrre.
You do not have to believe it, I do not care.
Coffee is sent to the troops on a regular bases.
Starbucks is the worst coffee I’ve ever had. But this is one of those false rumors that’s taken on a life of its own. That rumor refuses to go away but it’s still false.
