The 1970s brought an unprecedented change for the coffee company. Phelan Coffee Company changed their slogan to: “Good to the last drop.” sometime during the 1970s. The company changed their name from Phelan Coffee Company to Phelan’s Coffee sometime during the 1970s also.

According to the Port Arthur News, Phelan Grocery packaged their coffee in cans and packages to be distributed across the Southern United States. (Ref: https://newspaperarchive.com/port-arthur-news-jan-31-1932-p-18/)

“A demonstrator will be in the booth to PHELAN GROCERY CO. Display of the Phelan Grocery company will concentrate on Phelan’s coffee in cans and packages. A large variety will be exhibited, and the display is attractively arranged.”

Marsh and Phelan Coffee Packing Company had been voluntarily dissolved and was shut down in 1996. The packing company had been in active for sometime prior to 1996. (Ref: https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_tx/0000571410)

The Phelan Coffee Company building was sold and renovated around 1998. The renovation did not take very long as the warehouse building not very large. Miscellaneous renovations were made over the years. Today the company is inactive and no longer operating as a business. The property is owned by Kevin J. Wilson.

Marsh and Phelan Coffee Packing Company was located at 3805 Eloise Street, Beaumont, Texas, US 77707.
