Leramo Coffee Corporation Acquires Chauvin Coffee, Third-Generation St. Louis Roaster

Leramo Coffee Corporation acquired Chauvin Coffee, a third-generation specialty coffee roaster based in St. Louis, Missouri, in a transaction the companies framed as a capacity and portfolio play that “reinforc[es] its position as a leader in the specialty coffee industry,” according to a Leramo press release distributed with the header St. Louis, MO, 2/25/2026.

Chauvin Coffee was founded by Dave Charleville and, the press release states, is currently owned by Mike Charleville and Yvonne Charleville; Chauvin “has built a longstanding reputation for excellence in specialty coffee roasting, serving cafes, restaurants, and retailers throughout the Midwest,” the release said. Chauvin owner Mike Charleville is quoted directly in the distribution: “We’re excited about what this partnership means for the future of Chauvin Coffee,” said Mike Charleville. “Leramo shares our values and passion for roasting exceptional coffee. This step allows us to continue our family’s legacy while expanding our reach and resources to better serve our customers.”

The company distribution also addresses leadership continuity: “Under the new ownership, Mike Charleville will continue in leadership roles to ensure a [...] Charleville will continue in leadership roles to ensure a seamless transition and preserve the tradition and expertise that have defined Chauvin Coffee for decades.” The press release does not specify an exact post-acquisition title for Mike Charleville or list Chauvin facility addresses, employee counts, or pounds-roasted metrics.

Leramo’s leadership framed the deal as a strategic fit. “We are proud to welcome Chauvin Coffee into the Leramo family,” said Bob LeGrand, CEO of Leramo Coffee Corporation. “Their dedication to quality, consistency, and community aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver exceptional coffee experiences. Together, we’re building on a legacy of excellence while expanding our capabilities for the future.” The release also attributed a statement to Eric LeGrand, Vice President of Operations for Leramo Coffee Corporation: “This acquisition strengthens our ability to serve our customers with a broader range of specialty coffee offerings while continuing to uphold the standards of quality and integrity both companies are [...] the standards of quality and integrity both companies are known for.” Leramo is described in the distribution as “a leading private label coffee roaster and beverage solutions provider,” and an Original Report notes Leramo Coffee Corporation as part of Hudson-Leramo Beverage Group.

The announcement appeared in distribution headers dated 2/25/2026 on outlets that republished the release; a BizSpotlight republishing is timestamped March 6, 2026 and references an “original announcement dated Feb. 2,” a chronology the republished copy does not further explain. The Leramo press release makes operational promises directly to customers, “Customers can expect continued excellence in product quality, customer service, and innovative coffee solutions”, but does not disclose purchase price, the acquisition closing date, whether Chauvin facilities will be rebranded or consolidated, or any workforce impacts.
