Founder & Owner: Hector Ruiz
"I started Karate Chop Coffee, because I always wanted to start a side hustle, but I just had no idea in what, so then I asked myself.. What are the top five things that I love? Well, two out of those five things are martial arts and coffee, so then I thought.. Why not just start a martial-arts themed coffee brand? So I googled an AI business-name generator, then I went along with the first name see, and just like that, Karate Chop Coffee Company was born in 2024."
