Another fantastic Be A Tourist In Your Own Town celebration has come and gone, but with it brings the anticipation of making the event even better next year. With a pleasantly unexpected increase of visitors to our facility, we were nearly overwhelmed by the excitement of our guests as the toured, tasted, and learned about our coffee.

I wanted to take a moment and thank all of my associates that helped to make the Be A Tourist In Your Own Town a great success. We had a dramatic increase in the number of people that came to see what Paramount Coffee was all about. In the past, we estimated 1000 people for the event. My estimate for this year would be closer to 1,500 guests.

To the people of the Greater Lansing area that came to visit us, a sincere thank-you. It is a pleasure to share our story with you, from the snapshots of days gone by, through every step of the tour. We hope that you were engaged, and left with a little more knowledge, and the desire to truly enjoy our coffees.

We look forward to having you back again next year as our story continues to unfold.

Thank you for 75 years!

Special thanks to Deana, Angela, Sue, Andrew, Zach, Angelo, Wes, Bob, and Timmy for all your help.
