What an apt name for you. I'm trying to figure out a few things, here. Have you ever owned a small business? Do you realize they are the backbone of this country's economy, that small business growth is dependent on referrals to and from other business owners? Do you realize how absolutely petty you sound referring to advertisements on a coffee sleeve? I think it's very evident that you and Mike have an agenda here. Cups and Cones has been successful because of their all inclusive nature, their sincerity and integrity in their approach to business and their interest in our community. You cannot destroy goodness. Go away. To #40, not sure. What an apt name for you. I’m trying to figure out a few things, here. Have you ever owned a small business?

If stadiums can sell naming rights, buses can sell ad space on the side, races can be sponsored, etc., what's wrong with making money by letting somenoe else pay for the cost of the sleeves? Go Ken!

Wouldn't it be nice if others so quick to criticize could find the courage to come out from behind the anonymity of the web and do the same? Perhaps Not Sure could give it up? Would we, by chance, recognize your name from a realtors sign? Perhaps you don't really live here? Perhaps you are 14 and this is entertaining? Perhaps you lost your job and frustrated? Perhaps you are the President of the We Hate Cups And Cones Secret Society? Perhaps you run Delicato? Conspiracy! We will never know...as you apparently choose to remain anonymous.

This is the private sector. This is still, even though the government is causing some confusion, a free market environment. Business owners should be doing this type of marketing in order to keep costs down. Would you rather they label everything with the store logo and subequently raise prices? How on earth can you allow ink on paper dictate your preferences? Why do marketing tactics effect you to such a great degree? And I think it is stellar that you choose to support Delicato...they need the business. Every time I'm in there the place is empty. Perhaps he should try some imaginative marketing strategies to reduce his costs. If he doesn't, it looks like his next cost will be associated with closing shop. I love Cups and Cones, the family that runs it is fantastic. The place has never been dirty while I've been there and the staff is polite. Everyone wants instant service. Take a breath. You are just going out for ice cream. How urgent can it be?

The appeal was that is was a "neighborhood" coffee shop. Now it just belongs to the highest bidder. It doesn't matter if it's a Realtor, Handyman, Insurance Broker, Dog Sitter, etc.... I will now be supporting Delicato (who need it). They don't sell out to one resident in particular. I know times are tough, but how much could you possibly be making on the coffee sleeves. I am not the only one who won't be coming in...it's tacky to both the establishment and the advertiser. This is not the Cheesecake Factory, it's a neighborhood hang-out...or at least it was. Sell-outs! It just seems like everything’s for sale. The appeal was that is was a “neighborhood” coffee shop. Now it just belongs to the highest bidder.

We're more than happy to use sleeves promoting other local businesses or business owners. Those currently in use were purchased from CRC Promotion Marketing whose local representative, David Fenwick, may be contacted at davidf@crcimprinting.com. Regarding our web site, the telephone number and physical address have always been there in the lower right hand corner of the screen. The site has recently been updated to include the hours of operation. They're also listed at the beginning of this blog. Thank you very much for all of the input and suggestions!
