29 Jul Seventh Wave Refreshments and Buckhead Beans Join Forces to Create Atlanta’s Premier Workplace Refreshment Company
Seventh Wave Refreshments, one of Atlanta’s fastest-growing workplace refreshment companies and the 2025 National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) Operator of the Year, announced its merger with Buckhead Beans, one of Atlanta’s most respected specialty coffee service providers.
The partnership brings together two locally owned companies that share a passion for exceptional service, strong relationships, and creating outstanding workplace experiences across Georgia.
Founded in 2020, Seventh Wave Refreshments has rapidly become a leader in workplace coffee, micromarkets, office pantry programs, and hospitality-driven refreshment solutions. Buckhead Beans has spent more than 12 years building a reputation for specialty coffee expertise, craftsmanship, and personalized customer service.
“From our very first conversations, it was clear this was about much more than combining two businesses,” said Linda Saldaña, CEO and Co-Founder of Seventh Wave Refreshments. “We found a team that shares our belief that great businesses are built by serving people well. Together, we’re creating something even stronger for our clients, our employees, and the Atlanta community.”
As part of the merger, Buckhead Beans founders Matt Ades and Jeff Ramsey will join Seventh Wave’s leadership team, bringing decades of coffee industry expertise while ensuring the relationships customers have built over the years continue uninterrupted.
“Joining Seventh Wave allows us to preserve everything our customers value while giving them access to expanded resources, technology, and workplace refreshment solutions,” said Matt Ades, Founder of Buckhead Beans. “We couldn’t be more excited about what we’ll accomplish together.”
Customers of both organizations can expect a seamless transition with no interruption to service. Existing relationships, delivery schedules, and service teams will remain in place as the companies integrate operations. The merger also reinforces both organizations’ commitment to supporting Atlanta’s vibrant local coffee community and delivering innovative workplace experiences throughout the region.
“Our mission has always been to bring joy to the workplace,” added Saldaña. “By combining Buckhead Beans’ incredible coffee heritage with Seventh Wave’s innovation and operational excellence, we’re better positioned than ever to fulfill that mission.”
