Reporter: Welcome back to Yahoo Finance Live, Black Rifle Coffee Company announced today it's going into a deal worth $1.7 billion and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022. For more on this, we have Evan Hafer, CEO and Founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company with us to discuss. Evan, thank you so much for joining us today. Tell us a little bit more about this deal. Why now for this plan to go public, and what is your company’s plan for the cash that will hit your balance sheet as a result of this deal?

Evan: I think now is important based on the timing. We looked at it for the last several years. This has always been a goal, directly related to our mission of hiring 10,000 veterans. I think this is a good time for the company to announce this. With the partnership with Silverbox, they were aligned with our mission and our intent specifically along the lines of our philanthropic endeavors. We want to capitalize on the inertia of the brand. We want to share the success with the shareholders, and it felt like the right time for the company with the right partnership.

Brian Sozzi: Evan, thank you for your service to this country. As part of this deal, you’ll get $225 million put on your balance sheet. Where do you plan to spend that money?

Evan: We have two big growth initiatives for the company. We're a hyper successful omni channel company now, but the big initiatives will be in outposts aka coffee shops and ready-to-drink. Our ready-to-drink is right now sold in stores nationwide. We will be expanding those initiatives. The coffee shops are a really big proponent, to be able to hire more veterans and serve the customers where they live. Those are the two big investment initiatives we'll be making over the next couple of years.

Reporter 1: I’d also like to ask, in terms of location expansion, where are you seeing the biggest opportunities here? There is considerable competition already in the coffee space already and the beverage space.

Evan: Right. I think with Black Rifle Coffee the difference is we're an authentic American company, we’re a true american success story. I think people are hungry in the United States for a brand that represents them and their success story. there's a sea of inauthenticity as far as corporate america. Black Rifle, from my perspective, i started this company in my garage seven years ago. Before that I was working in Afghanistan and Iraq. We founded it with a group of my other veteran friends. I think people are hungry to go out and experience a coffee company that represents their values and is mission-driven and dedicated toward giving back to the veteran community. It's something we do and strive for every day. It's not only serving a great cup of coffee but what can we turn the coffee drinkers -- what can we turn their dollars into as far as good philanthropic endeavors. The big expansion is going to be within the coffee shops themselves, being able to experience the brand in a totally different way. The subscription is always going to be a big component of the company, it’s one of my favorites. I started it so I could deliver fresh roasted coffee to doorsteps, but now it's time for the next level of the company.

Sozzi: Evan, what do you say to those critics who point to your marketing on your cans and the support for police. I mean do you just say your brand may just not be for them?

Evan: First and foremost, I served the country for more than 20 years. I served alongside some of the most heroic, service-driven people this country has ever produced either overseas or here. A lot of the veterans transition into law enforcement, first responders. There are a group of people who love their country and are passionate about serving their communities - those are my people. I think there are a lot of people in the United States that represents their values and their connection. To be honest with you, I'm not really that concerned. I love this country. I'm never ashamed to say that. I love the wide variety of people that have served this country in varying capacities. I love connecting with my customers across the country. This is not just about how big can a company get, this is about connecting with the customer and then giving back with a real mission to the veteran community. I can't think of a better country to celebrate that story in.

Sozzi: I'm sure you're going to get these questions now that you'll be a public company, Evan, but should your brand be associated with that far right community, or is that not the case?

Evan: The brand is associated with people that love America, and they're not ashamed about that. This country has given me so many different opportunities. You know, I grew up in a very rural community in northern Idaho, generations of loggers, and I've been able to travel the world and experience so many different countries and so many different things, directly representing and serving the U.S. Constitution. It's time for me to give that back. The customers who believe in that mission and believe in the American success story, they're going to be attracted to this regardless of political party affiliation. I think there are a lot of people who truly do love to celebrate America, and that's me.
