Alexandria, VA – May 10, 2010 – The Club Managers Association of America announced today that it has selected Royal Cup Coffee as its official coffee provider. CMAA made this decision in an effort to recognize Royal Cup’s dedication and commitment to the club industry, and the long standing relationship between the two organizations.
“Royal Cup Coffee’s relationship with CMAA and the club industry dates back 40 years to when Marty Bishop set up the first coffee lounge at CMAA’s World Conference on Club Management. Today, Royal Cup is still serving coffee at Conference each year and at clubs across the country every day, and Jeff Bishop, Marty’s grandson, continues the fantastic job,” commented CMAA Chief Executive Officer Jim Singerling, CCM, CEC. “It is an honor to recognize Royal Cup Coffee as the Official Coffee of CMAA.”
Under the agreement, Royal Cup will be the sole provider of daily coffee service at CMAA’s annual events including the World Conference on Club Management and the Leadership and Legislative Conference.
Based in Alabama, Royal Cup has grown during the past 100 years from its small hometown roots into a major importer, roaster and distributer of high quality coffees and teas. Serving customers in the food service, office and specialty coffee markets, Royal Cup now reaches markets throughout the United States, into Mexico and the Caribbean. Royal Cup continues as a privately held, family company, a tradition which helps them offer dedicated service with a unique personal touch to each and every one of their customers.
“Clubs are an important part of Royal Cup Coffee’s business and club managers seem to value the premium products and services we offer,” noted Royal Cup Coffee Vice President of Food Service and Hospitality Ben Pitts. “All of us at Royal Cup are very committed to providing high quality, competitive programs to club managers as well as supporting CMAA’s educational and charitable missions nationally and locally in chapters across the US.”
