THUMP X BACKPORCH: Two big Central Oregon coffee names announce merger

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Thump Coffee and Backporch Coffee Roasters will soon join forces.

The companies announced they will merge in 2026.

Thump says this merger isn’t about becoming something different, it’s about strengthening what both companies already care deeply about: craft, people, community, and the ability to make someone’s day a little better, one cup at a time.

"Your neighborhood Thump café stays your neighborhood Thump café. Your favorite drinks aren’t going anywhere. Nothing big is changing in your daily experience—and won’t for a long time," Thump said in the announcement.

Over the past few years, both of the teams have been growing, side by side, sometimes on the same trail, often in the same community—and it became clear they were building toward the same thing.

Beginning January 1st, Thump and Backporch will officially join together as part of a long-term partnership often referred to as the Thump–Backporch Coffee merger, or TBC Thump Backporch Coffee.
