Shay and Lindsay Hayes, owners and founders of Viridian Coffee Co., brokered a longterm lease for the property through Spark Properties. Duncan is the current headquarters of Viridian Coffee Co. with additional stores located in Lawton, Chickasha and Cache. The Village location is the sixth Viridian Coffee Co. location and the first in the metro area.

“We will relocate our corporate headquarters from Duncan to The Village, at least temporarily and bring about 40 employees with us,” said Shay Hayes as he addressed the council. “We’re encouraging our employees in Duncan to consider relocating to The Village when they move into the metro area.

“Eventually, we will outgrow the space at our Village location and will need additional room for our headquarter office,” said Hayes. “However, we plan on our headquarters being in The Village for at least the next two years.”

Hays told the council he is currently looking for nearby warehouse space for the company’s roasting and warehousing needs.
