Keep Montana Expresso

| December 22, 2006 11:00 PM

Montana Expresso is a company with wonderful people and great coffee that over the years has donated all of its profits to area youth.

Apparently Safeway is forcing Montana Expresso to leave its parking lot to make way for an indoor Starbucks kiosk in its expanded store.

This is a classic case of an out-of-state corporate action which ignores the needs of the current drive-through customers, the livelihood of local employees and the noble cause they serve.

As a loyal customer of both Safeway and Montana Expresso, I urge Safeway to incorporate Montana Expresso into their expansion plans.

Absent that, I encourage the Whitefish City Council to find a way to preserve this revenue stream for our youth.
