Press release from the issuing company

Monday, January 10th, 2011

Albany's oldest established independent coffee shop, The Brown Bean, is looking for a new owner or partner with a passion for taking the business to the next level.  The current owners, Pat and Paul Fenner, are excited about the business and upcoming opportunities, but other commitments are preventing them from giving the coffee shop the attention it deserves.

The Brown Bean has a fully operational location in the Northwest Library with equipment and negotiations for a second high traffic location nearly complete. All equipment is professionally maintained and in like-new condition.  A sale includes F&F, current inventory, staff, organic product lines, vendor contacts, customer base, POS systems, website under development, growing Facebook and internet presence.  Says Pat Fenner, "This is a great chance to exercise your talents, build a business, and serve our community."
