{Giveaway} J&S Coffee
November 8, 2011Written by Contributing Writer, Sarah Farthing
This post is near and dear to my heart. If you’ve read the About section of The Good Stuff Guide you might remember that my husband and I own and operate a retail and wholesale coffee business:
It is a true Mom and Pop store; we both worked well over 85 hours each week in the early years. Since we’ve had children and been able to hire more employees, I do more accounting, human resources and marketing while my husband still works behind the counter every weekday morning and spends his afternoons roasting and delivering the freshest coffee you’ll ever taste to the finest restaurants in our great city of Lawrence, KS.
And it’s not just fresh. It’s the best. You just can’t grasp the difference between fresh, expertly craft-roasted coffee and the old, stale, over-roasted product you might be served at a big chain store or pull off a grocery shelf until you’ve tasted it for yourself.
Now is your chance! We are offering our first giveaway ever to The Good Stuff Guide readers just in time for holiday gift planning. Here’s the best part, it’s not just you who ‘wins’ the giveaway. We are going to let you spread the love! The winner of this giveaway will receive two pounds of fresh roasted coffee of their choosing (visit www.jandscoffee.com and browse the ‘order’ section to see our offerings) AND can choose 3 (THREE!) friends to receive the same! Coffee, packaging and shipping all free for all four of you!
Gift packaging is standard on all mail orders at J&S Coffee. Gift messages are offered at no charge. You could choose three coffee-loving friends or family members. Have coffee sent to your favorite teachers, coaches, physicians… anyone you wish to thank, honor or celebrate with an address in the continental U.S. is eligible for your ‘Pick Three.’
And remember, we really are a Mom and Pop store, you can’t beat our service. We are just an e-mail away if you have questions or special instructions, want to specify a date for one or more of your packages to be mailed, or just want to get to know us a little better.
Here’s how you can enter:
Giveaway
Leave a comment by Thursday, November 17th and I’ll choose the winner using Random.org and announce it on Friday the 18th.
