About us

Laura and Phil Wayland are the proud owners of a collection of gourmet experience stores throughout the Outer Banks of North Carolina, now expanding to our newest location in Key West. Their journey began in 2010 when the wine company Laura worked for closed its doors. As a stay-at-home mom hosting wine tastings in people’s homes, Laura took the knowledge she gained and turned it into something more—purchasing Chip’s Wine and Beer and later opening Outer Banks Olive Oil in 2013. Since then, they've expanded their gourmet empire, opening two more locations and adding three Front Porch Cafe coffee shops to the mix. Welcome to Our Newest Store: A Unique Gourmet Experience in Key West! At Key West Olive Oil & Gourmet, our mission is to bring you a truly unique gourmet experience. From our wide selection of premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars to our carefully curated wines, cheeses, and specialty foods, we’re passionate about delivering exceptional quality and flavor in every bite. Our love for cooking, wine, beer, and all things gourmet shines through everything we do, and we can’t wait to share that passion with you.
