Detroit football fans have an opportunity to meet former Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch as he visits local Kroger stores to launches his coffee brand Circle House Coffee.
“I am incredibly excited to partner with Kroger and bring Circle House Coffee to the Metro Detroit community,” Tulloch said. “This opportunity not only allows us to expand our reach but also helps us continue our mission of making a positive impact in the area I’ve called home for so many years. I believe that together, we can grow the brand and further support local initiatives that uplift our community.”
The brand includes a Fifty-Five Signature Blend (named after Tulloch’s jersey number) and a limited-edition Motor City Espresso Blend.
Fans can meet Tulloch and enjoy free samples off the coffee during two launch events on Saturday, Dec. 13.
From 10-11:30 a.m. Tulloch will be at the Kroger at 14945 23 Mile Rd., Shelby Township, followed by a visit from noon-1:30 p.m. at the 2200 E. 12 Mile Rd., Royal Oak location.
In addition to those stores, Circle House Coffee blends are available for purchase from Detroit-area Korgers in Ann Arbor, Commerce Twp., Milford, Rochester Hills, St. Clair Shores, Sterling Heights, Southgate, Plymouth, and White Lake.
A portion of proceeds from the coffee brand will support local charities, the company says.
