Hot Shots Coffee & More was first envisioned in 2015 after returning to Fort Bragg from Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State, where small coffee shops are a common and convenient part of daily life. At the time, active military service limited the ability to pursue the concept.

After retiring from the military in 2023 and earning a degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2024, a transition into the corporate field followed. That path continued until September 2025, when it became clear that it was time to refocus on the original vision: creating a local coffee trailer to serve the Fort Bragg military community.

In January 2026, the corporate world was left behind to establish Hot Shots Coffee & More.

The mission is to provide troops and commuters at Fort Bragg with fast, convenient access to high-quality, flavorful coffee and on-the-go food, whether heading onto base or avoiding the need to leave the immediate surrounding area.

Located at 670 North Reilly Road in Fayetteville, Hot Shots Coffee & More is less than one mile from Exit 14 off Interstate 295, at the intersection of Fillyaw Road and North Reilly Road, making it an ideal stop for early morning commuters.

Hot Shots Coffee & More is positioned less than half a mile from Rock Merritt Gate (Reilly Gate), three-quarters of a mile from Canopy Gate, and approximately one mile from Yadkin Gate. The trailer allows military personnel and local drivers to grab coffee quickly and stay on schedule without going out of their way.
