Is Kicking Horse Coffee Canadian-owned?

Not Canadian, but not US-owned either · Invermere, BC (operations) / Turin, Italy (Lavazza Group)

What we found

80% owned by Lavazza Group (Italy) since May 2017, purchased from Swander Pace Capital. Founder Elana Rosenfeld retains 20% and remains CEO. Not US-owned, but no longer majority Canadian-owned either — a common misconception given the strong Canadian brand identity. Confirmed via Lavazza's own 2017 acquisition announcement. The .com prices in USD with no Canadian market; kickinghorsecoffee.ca is the Canadian store, serving CAD.
