James Hoffman and Brian Franklin debate at http://minilink.me/coffeedebate/

Looking to expand. Either into a bigger building or 2nd location.

Thanks for the greeting, Al. How is E911 fairing the hot weather?

Things have picked up here as well, I think summer will definitely be good for us. My frozen drinks have really been doing well, we use Big Train and are very happy with them. Where do you get your beans from? The place looks really nice with the outdoor area by the way.

Looking good, Al. Hope one day I can visit for a drink! We're doing well. Hoping to get some more new wholesale clients soon. But doing well and having a grand time. Cheers.

Al, how are things going with your shop? Business here is picking up a little, the Holiday's slowed us down a little. I am selling more brewed coffee now as opposed to latte's but at least I am selling something. Hope your doing well.

How goes it? How has business been? Hope to hear you're doing well.

We are close to winstar casino and in the beginning we put flyers on the cars of both the employees and the customers. It did OK, but then they told us we could not do it anymore. we also have homemade signs around the area that the wife painted,, she is artistic. We have put ads in the local papers,, which seems to get the most attention.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm very glad you enjoyed Cottonwood. Yeah, a side by side with Ambergris would be interesting. I'd love to hear how you feel about the comparisons when you get them going.

business is slower than I expected for the area that I am in, but we are still young and have confidence that things will pick up. If your in a college town you should do well.

Cottonwood is on its way to you, sir. Would love your feedback. Thanks!

I love all history. I have spent a lot of time reading about the Civil War and WWII; but also have read lots of stuff from South Asia to Europe to Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. It's all fascinating.

As for theology, I have a degree in it and have worked in a small number of churches "back in the day." I enjoy reading theological journals and thinking a lot about such things. (and acting on it, where appropriate!)

Hey friend.

Check your email.

Thanks.

Hey Al. Congrats on the imminent open. I bet it has felt at times like it would never be here. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

No Prob. Very busy trying to get my blue prints approved so I can start building my drive thru. In the process of locating quality used equipment and coffee roasters. FETCO extractor anyone?

Hi Al, Welcome to bX! This is a great place to pick up more information about the coffee industry. If there is anything I can help with in the future, please let me know.
