Predecessors, peers, and successors
Merchants Coffee Company
Founded by Mr. W. E. Hayman. Merged in 1912 with William Robert Hoffmann’s firm to form Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee (see History).
Morrison Coffee Company
San Antonio roaster whose brands included Broncho (older references sometimes say “Bronco”). Hoffmann-Hayman acquired Morrison in 1917 (equipment, stock, and brands). More context: Broncho Coffee.
Tucker Coffee Company
1920s. 422–424 Ruiz Street, San Antonio, Texas. Produced Aviation brand coffee.
- Officers named in site material: A. B. Walker, C. A. Luafenburg, T. W. Willard, A. Walker, and B. B. Dinius.
- Capital stock: $25,000 from H. W. Tucker, H. H. Tucker, and W. E. Hayman.
Hayman appears here after he sold his Hoffmann-Hayman stake to the Mengers in 1920 (History), so Tucker is a separate, related San Antonio coffee line, not a predecessor of H and H.
Continental Coffee Company
San Antonio firm noted on this site as purchasing Hoffmann-Hayman around 1964; 1972 appears in internal notes as a late boundary date. Opening year not yet verified on this page – treat as a placeholder until primary sources are cited.
