Yes....we really are the Toomer's

Visitors to Toomer's Coffee Company™ in Auburn are amused and find it very cool that the Toomer's really own and operate Toomer's Coffee Company, here in Auburn, Alabama, the "loveliest village on the plains" .

Our story before Toomer's Coffee Company™

Trish and Sandy Toomer have been happily married for 27 years and have two nearly-grown children, Harrison (20) and Sarah (18).  Sandy is a native of Vestavia Hills, Alabama and Trish is from Hurricane, West Virginia.

From 1990-93 we were in training at Moody Aviation (a part of Moody Bible Institute) and after graduation, joined Mission Aviation Fellowship in 1993 and served as missionaries to the South American country of Ecuador until 2002.  Sandy recently became Director of Digital Media Projects within the Learning Technologies division of MAF.

Sandy was a missionary pilot with MAF and flew nearly 3,000 hours serving missionaries and indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest while Trish provided hospitality for visitors to the Shell Ecuador base and was the link and "shopper" for missionaries living in the jungle.  Harrison and Sarah attended Nate Saint Memorial School in Shell.

Today

We first opened Toomer's Coffee Company™ in downtown Opelika, a short hop from Auburn, in 2004. 

However, since so many of our regular coffee-bean-buying customers were from Auburn, they kept after us to move the shop over to Auburn.  

So, in August of 2005 we opened our doors in the University Village shopping center on South College Avenue, located right behind Loco's.
