Event Description

The American Barista and Coffee School to Help Coffee Retailers Combat Current Financial Crisis


How specialty coffee retailers can survive and thrive in today's economic uncertainty is the focus of a two-day travelling seminar offered by the American Barista & Coffee School (ABC's). The Ultimate Coffee Profitability Seminar will be led by Chris Legler, Starbucks veteran and former CFO of Barnie's Coffee and Tea Company. The first seminar is scheduled for January 10-11 in Portland, Oregon.

"In today's harsh economic conditions, coffee retailers need to take a proactive and educated approach to business," said ABC's founder Bruce Milletto. "Even though a retailer may be selling a quality product, he or she will need to do more than that to ensure increased sales and overall business success. We developed the Ultimate Coffee Profitability Seminar to give them the tools they need to increase sales through effective marketing and the skills to manage the financial side of their businesses in today's unforgiving economic climate."

The Ultimate Coffee Profitability Seminar will give you the tools you need to increase sales through effective marketing and the skills to manage the financial side of your business in today's unforgiving economic climate.

In addition, continental breakfast is provided each day.
