Canal Coffee Co. officially celebrated the grand opening of its second Gastonia location on Saturday, June 6, 2026, welcoming the community to the brand-new Hoffman Road drive-thru with a day full of excitement, giveaways, drink deals, and community connection.
Located at 1957 Hoffman Road in Gastonia, the newest Canal Coffee Co. location marks another exciting step in the company’s continued growth across North Carolina and South Carolina. Known for fast, friendly drive-thru service and handcrafted drinks, Canal Coffee Co. was thrilled to bring another convenient location to the Gastonia community.
A Day Full of Celebration
The grand opening event brought together customers, community members, and supporters from across the area to celebrate the opening of the new location. Guests enjoyed a variety of special promotions throughout the day, including $3 16-ounce signature drinks, Canal Coffee Co. merchandise giveaways, and opportunities to win free coffee.
Every customer who scanned their Canal Coffee Co. app during the grand opening celebration was automatically entered for a chance to win free coffee for a month, with five winners selected throughout the promotion.
The event also featured a special partnership tied to Carolina football player Jalen Coker. Customers who purchased a Coker Cold Brew during the grand opening were entered for a chance to win an exclusive 15-minute one-on-one experience with Jalen Coker, creating even more excitement throughout the day.
From the early morning rush through the afternoon, the Hoffman Road location stayed busy as customers stopped by to experience the new space, meet the team, and celebrate alongside the Canal Coffee Co. staff.
Growing in Gastonia
Opening a second Gastonia location represents an important milestone for Canal Coffee Co. as the company continues expanding throughout the Carolinas.
What began as a family-owned drive-thru coffee concept has quickly grown into multiple locations serving handcrafted coffee, energy drinks, refreshers, teas, dirty sodas, breakfast items, baked goods, and lunch offerings. Despite the growth, Canal Coffee Co. remains focused on creating a welcoming experience rooted in community involvement and customer connection.
Gastonia has continued to be an incredibly supportive market for Canal Coffee Co., and the company is grateful for the enthusiasm surrounding the new Hoffman Road location.
More Than Just Coffee
At Canal Coffee Co., community involvement remains at the center of the brand. In addition to serving handcrafted drinks and food with fast drive-thru service, the company is committed to supporting local schools, organizations, first responders, athletes, and community initiatives throughout the areas it serves.
The grand opening celebration reflected that mission by creating an event that brought people together while celebrating local growth and connection.
