Member Spotlight Feature

Oye Coffee Co.

The secret ingredient is love.

Oye Coffee Co. joined the Nashville Chamber because of community. Although our family’s heritage is rooted in Nigeria, we were born and raised in Nashville, building our business around the city that shaped us. This blend of heritage and local upbringing reflects Nashville’s diversity and makes Oye Coffee’s story unique. Building in Middle Tennessee honors both our heritage and hometown while supporting growth, highlighting the area’s diversity, and creating something rooted in resilience, innovation, and community. Oye Coffee’s vision is to offer Nashville something valuable and inspiring, a coffee and lifestyle experience that is vibrant, welcoming, and deeply connected. 

The Chamber has helped advance Oye Coffee’s vision by connecting us with partners, leaders, and small business owners who offer support and collaboration. These relationships have laid the foundation for growth and brought us closer to opening our first brick-and-mortar location. As members, Oye Coffee views this journey as a shared effort where the Chamber’s programs and partnerships play an essential role in turning our vision into reality. We value the Chamber’s commitment to small business, entrepreneurship, and diversity through initiatives like Pay It Forward, Leadership Study Mission, Thrive, and networking events. 

The Chamber has also boosted Oye Coffee’s visibility by spotlighting the brand in the community, including opportunities like the Nashville Predators Business Game Night. These connections link us to decision-makers, expand networks that support growth, and create memorable moments sharing Oye Coffee at events. We remain active in small business initiatives, community programs, and networking opportunities while exploring committee roles to deepen our engagement. We encourage entrepreneurs to join the Chamber to gain visibility, resources, and relationships that transform goals into reality, elevating their business and connecting it to the heartbeat of Nashville’s economy.
