Local Grounds Coffee Company Ribbon Cutting

MANSON - The Manson Chamber of Commerce officially welcomed a new business to Manson on Saturday, November 26 with a ribbon cutting at 9:30 a.m. for Local Grounds Coffee Company. Representing Local Grounds Coffee Company were owner, Cindy Sneesby and General Manager, Anna Sneesby. The weather turned out perfect and the event well attended by many locals.

Cindy and Anna have worked on this project for quite some time, looking forward to this day. They attended the “Coffee Fest” in Seattle last fall, which helped them put many of the pieces of the puzzle in place.

“Coffee Fest” is more than a tradeshow – it’s the place where the specialty beverage community comes together. Cindy and Anna’s “Coffee Fest” experience included three days of best-in-class educational content featuring the specialty beverage industry’s thought leaders and innovators. An Expo Hall featuring the latest food and beverage products, retail solutions and technologies. Competitions at the forefront of innovation and showcasing creativity and networking with the best in the business.

The most important decision of the process was to choose which coffee to serve. This took Cindy and Anna to many coffee companies, where they personally tasted coffee. “Hands down, Dillanos Coffee Roasters was the best,” Anna said. And Anna should know as she has worked as a barista since her teenage years.

Dillanos Coffee Roasters is in Sumner, and they have roasted coffee since 1992. Their motto is, “The Roaster for the most successful specialty coffee retailers in America”. Part of their service includes training staff and employees in the proper way to make and serve coffee.

Besides coffee and other drinks, Local Grounds offers a menu of treats including Avocado Toast, Nutella and Banana Toast, Turkey Pesto Toast a Breakfast Sandwich and much more.
