We are a small, artisan roastery located in the far North Central Texas' Red River Valley. is co-owned by Jon and Pam Reese and Bill and Lauri Weske, and the business was born out of a love for business, community, family, faith, and FUN.
Jon and Pam are partners in Texoma Ice Company, a packaged ice manufacturing and distribution company formed in 2004, and have used this small business experi
ence to create HOOK & LADDER COFFEE CO. Jon is a 33-year veteran of the Wichita Falls Fire Department, an all career, 161 member department, where he proudly serves as the Fire Chief. Pam is a part of the North Texas Ophthalmology Associates Team, and serves as a Technician.
Bill is the retired Assistant Fire Chief and served the community for 33 years. His dedication and love for the Fire Service was evident throughout his career. Lauri is a Nurse at Hospice of Wichita Falls, a true calling for a very special cause. Her compassion shows daily as she dedicates her life to providing care for those in Hospice Care. The "theme" of HOOK & LADDER COFFEE CO. celebrates the thousands of men and women around the world who provide public safety day in and day out. Jon and Bill's proudest professional achievement is, without a doubt, being able to lead the BEST firefighters anywhere!
We hope that your family and business will be pleased with our small-batch, artisan roasted coffee!
