Part of our financial strategy has been to provide our customers
with real value for their money, and we feel that it is this
strategy that provides our company with its best opportunity for
financial success.
We feel that keeping our costs low for our customers will help
us achieve financial success, and we remain committed to this
strategy.
Another part of our financial strategy has been to keep our
costs low through our savvy buying strategy and buying power.
In particular, the unique relationships we have enjoyed with
producers of gourmet coffees from around the world have allowed
us to purchase these highly desirable and highly profitable
products at excellent prices.
At the same time we have strived to keep our coffee costs low we
have also strived to keep the cost of our supplies as low as
possible. Small changes like the use of reusable cups for our
shops, customers have allowed us to achieve significant savings
and keep our costs low.

Other cost savings strategies have provided excellent benefits
while providing some great social benefits for our customers as
well.
When our customers began bringing in their old paperbacks to
create a unique free library, we were able to discontinue our
expensive magazine subscriptions and book purchases.
As a side benefit, our customers have been able to experience
some unique reading material they may otherwise not have been
exposed to. |
