Starbucks

by brady on Aug.25, 2008, under General, Resources, Tips and Tricks


Hello again,
just wanted to throw down some Starbucks facts since we go there some much. For starters, if you go to Starbucks and order a Grande, ice chai latte 5 times a week for a year, 5 x $3.82 x 52 weeks = $993.20. wow, that’s almost a $1,000.00 dollars a year just on coffee. Here are some other cool facts that we found on the internet, www.starbucks.com

• Started in 1971 in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Original name of company was Starbucks
Coffee, Tea and Spices, later changed to Starbucks Coffee Company.

• Stores
7,087 Company-operated stores in the US.
4,081 Licensed stores.
43 countries outside the United States.

• Provided 4.9 million hours of training for our store partners.
• Donated $36.1 million in cash and products.
• Volunteered 383,000 hours in our communities through our volunteer
program Make Your Mark.
• Paid an average price of $1.42 per pound of green (unroasted) coffee,
including those purchased from approved suppliers through our own set of
social and environmental guidelines for producing, processing and buying
coffee (C.A.F.E. Practices) and Fair Trade cooperatives.
• Quadrupled our renewable energy purchase to equal 20 percent of the energy
used in our company-operated stores in the U.S. and Canada.
• Introduced the first-ever paper cup made with 10 percent post-consumer
recycled fiber which reduced our wood use by 11,300 tons – the equivalent of
78,000 trees – in the first year alone.
• Recycled in 79 percent of our U.S. and Canada stores where we control waste
and recycling.

So, the next time we meet for any wedding consultation, guess where we’re going to choose, that’s right! the nearest Starbucks. for your concvience we have linked to the store locator to find the closest Starbucks near you click here Starbucks store locator.

Save the Date

by brady on Aug.20, 2008, under General, Tips and Tricks

Aloha to you all,

We wanted to say “Thank You” for all your support and referrals, we love to work with friends and family. Just a reminder, most wedding planing takes place between 6 to 12 months before the wedding date. To give you all a heads up, the busy months in 2009 for weddings are going to be May, June, July and August.

All other months are not as busy, but because we only do 5 weddings a month, booking availability can be limited. We are looking to book out the slow months in 2009, so if you are getting married in Jan, Feb, March, April, Oct, Nov, or Dec. please contact us for special rates and promotions.

We look forward to working with you and capturing your special day.
