about our change in OWNERSHIP

April 9, 2021 - “East Van Roasters serves up ambitious expansion plans

Award-winning Vancouver artisan coffee and chocolate specialists East Van Roasters (EVR) has a new ownership model and market expansion plans.

The fair-trade coffee roaster and bean-to-bar chocolatier is transferring from founders PHS Community Services Society to a newly formed Community Contribution Company.

“We are immensely proud of the many achievements of EVR,” said PHS CEO Micheal Vonn. “Under Shelley Bolton’s leadership, EVR has been recognized with awards and provided meaningful work and mentorship to members of our community.

“We are excited for EVR’s new chapter, which will preserve its spirit and achievements and give it the growth opportunity it so deeply deserves.”

Since opening in 2012, EVR has supported marginalized women to re-enter the workforce through mentorship-based programming and on-the-job training – and this isn’t going to change.”
