WELCOME, Jason “Bear” Berrett

~ as an OFFICIAL contributor to Wash Perk. I say official, because Bear has contributed in so many ways to WP since our doors opened in 2008. He is a dear friend with 15 years retail and management experience and I don’t know a kinder, more hard-working man. We are so proud to welcome him, and we hope he will assist in restoring Teri to sanity…. at least slightly. He is helping in every way he can, beginning with improving our retail area and supporting our non-profit efforts. A message from Bear: “We’re getting ready to start auctioning off items donated by Chase Heiliman/Photographer, Kyle Quincey/Professional Athlete, NHL and Ryan O’reilly/Professional Athlete, NHL. We’ll have silent auction clip boards hanging on the pillars or walls by the items and all proceeds will go to Ben and I Play for Peace and The National MS Society. If you have any questions feel free to contact me by FB- Jason Berrett Thank you for your support!!”

Coffee Price Increase March 1st:

No, it has nothing to do with our expansion. And, our Coffee Bike is a gift from Debbi.

Well, it’s bad timing for all of us and I wonder what price a great cup of coffee will be in the next few years…. For me, Wash Perk is obviously about more than the coffee, but hands down….. the full bodied, fair trade, perfectly roasted by wonderful local peeps cup o joe is the main starting point for all that Wash Perk is built upon. Thank you, Kaladi Coffee.

We have only raised prices once since opening and it was $0.10. Prices across the board have slowly risen and we try very hard to not react too soon in passing on costs to our customers. This increase, I’ve been advised, is too much for us to bare alone, as our prices were already lower than most, and try to survive as a small business with narrow margins.

Coffee drinks will go up $0.25. Whole bean bags will be up $3.00. Travel mug discount will go up to $0.25 discount, but only because we want to find a way to keep reinforcing less waste. This will not cover the increase for us, but becomes a shared choice. We understand how big of an impact this will have on all of us.
