Arizona Coffee Acquired by Starbucks
April 1, 2008 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under General
Press Release: I am pleased to announce that Arizona Coffee has been sold to Starbucks Corporation. The deal went through this morning after a few weeks of negotiation. Starbucks is beginning a nationwide campaign to bring their marketing efforts to a local level. Starting in California, Nevada, and Arizona Starbucks Corporation is beginning a campaign called “We’re Local, We’re Your Friends, We’re Starbucks.”
The campaign gets started officially today.
Starting this afternoon this web site will officially begin forwarding to ArizonaChoosesStarbucks.com and all references to the former owner will be taken out back and beaten with a long stick, after being printed on recycled paper.
When asked, Chris Tingom only had this comment: “April Fools!”
Dan Lacher says:
