Scope and content
Six unidentified employees of Coffee House Roasters, Inc., demonstrate the roasting and packaging equipment in the company's new plant at 3700 Center Street. The grand opening of Coffee House Roasters was held on December 3, 1954. Visitors were encouraged to tour the facilities. Coffee House Roasters sold coffee that was ground fresh from the oven and quickly packaged for distribution. Their coffee was "made in Tacoma by Tacoma people." The company provided complete service to restaurants, hotels, and institutions, including providing and maintaining coffee making equipment. After becoming established, they hoped to expand their production to include local grocery stores. The company was in business for 20 years, closing in 1975. (TNT 12-2-54, A-11)
