$t*rbu(k$ raises prices again!



I try not to say anything negative about my competitor. They have paved the way for us to have a market, as well as, creating a tastier (in my opinion) blend of coffee. But now they are raising their prices again. They have citied the price of milk and minimum wage going up as the reason for the $.09 price increase effective this month. But, if the price of milk and minimum wage goes up for everybody why are they the only coffee house to raise their prices? I actually don't know if CB and others are going to follow suit, but I do know that, at Kelly's Coffee and Fudge Factory, our prices are the same for the same great coffee we have always had.
Ok, I know a lot of people go there for other reasons besides coffee. They have internet access that you have to pay for (our wi-fi is free - you don't even have to buy anything!) and other drinks that are not coffee related, like chai (we have vanilla and spiced chai as well). The only other reason, now that their prices have gone up, to go to "them" instead of Kelly's is because you don't have a Kelly's near you!! To find a Kelly's Coffee & Fudge Factory store near you visit www.kellyscoffee.com and in the Anaheim, CA area go to www.kellyscoffeeanaheim.com for directions!
Thanks for letting me vent!
