Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. Adds Manufacturing Facility in Sumner, Washington

WATERBURY, Vt.--(Business Wire)--
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (NASDAQ:GMCR), today announced it has
chosen Sumner, Washington as the future location for a new manufacturing and
distribution facility for its Specialty Coffee Business Unit. The new leased
site will support the continued expansion of the Tully`s Coffee® brand and
wholesale business, the national expansion of other GMCR brands and the growth
of the Company`s single-cup business.

"We are extremely excited about joining the Sumner community and are grateful
for the support we received from the State of Washington Department of Commerce,
the Economic Development Board for Tacoma-Pierce County and the City of Sumner,"
said Jon Wettstein, VP of Supply Chain Operations for GMCR`s Specialty Coffee
Business Unit. "Our investment in a new, modern site in Sumner will complement
our existing facilities in our home state of Vermont and in Knox County,
Tennessee. It will allow us to accommodate the significant growth and expansion
we are planning for the Tully`s business, as well as for the expansion of our
other brands on the West Coast."

The Sumner site is the latest in a series of expansions for GMCR`s Specialty
Coffee Business Unit. In 2007, new K-Cup® production lines were added to its
Waterbury plant, and the Company opened a second manufacturing site in Essex,
Vermont. In September 2008, the Company opened a facility in Knox County, TN and
is in the process of expanding operations there. The Sumner facility is expected
to be operational this fall.

"There are many great cities in Washington, and after an extensive search, GMCR
chose Sumner," said Mayor Dave Enslow. "That is quite an honor for us, and we`re
so pleased to welcome GMCR as part of our community."
