There’s a new coffee store in town that owners
\nsay is putting the choice back into the hands
\nof its customers.<\/p>\n

Choice Coffee opened in September at 959
\nRoute 9, Queensbury. It is the second location
\nfor the business. The first is in Plattsburgh.<\/p>\n

Owners Jeff Prescott, Doug Lyon, and Larry
\nSmith opened the first Choice Coffee six years
\nago. After years of renovating and expanding
\nthe original building, it was decided a second
\nlocation was needed.<\/p>\n

Scott Maynard manages the Queensbury
\nlocation. His previous experience comes from
\nworking as a sales representative for Valley
\nVending, the sister company of Choice Coffee.
\n“When the opportunity came to manage this
\nlocation, it was a no-brainer. It felt like the right
\nchoice,” he said.<\/p>\n

What makes Choice Coffee is unusual is
\nthat when customers walk inside, they are
\nsurrounded by shelves with rows of single serve
\ncoffee cups (often called K cups). There
\nare more than 200 coffees to choose from.
\nCustomers grab a bucket and choose as many
\ndifferent coffees as they would like. They pay
\nper dozen cups.<\/p>\n

“It started with customers coming in and
\nsaying ‘We want to try this coffee, but we
\ndon’t want to commit to the whole box.’ So
\nwe thought about a way to just have people
\nbuy one. And it was a home run up in our
\nPlattsburgh store,” said Maynard.<\/p>\n

The choice, truly, is in the hands of the
\ncustomer.<\/p>\n

For those who are environmentally conscious
\nand don’t like the idea of throwing away
\na single-serve cup every time they brew coffee,
\nthere is a section of the store called the “green
\ncorner” with eco-friendly, single-serve coffee
\ncups that are biodegradable and not made
\nfrom plastic.<\/p>\n

“We also sell whole bean coffee for people
\nwho can’t seem to get behind all of this technology,”
\nsaid Maynard.<\/p>\n

Choice Coffee features their own coffee club.
\nWhen people make a purchase at the store,
\nthey get a certain number of points. They
\nreceive free coffee once they have reached
\nenough points on their club membership.<\/p>\n

Besides the coffee retail part of the business,
\nChoice Coffee also does business-to-business
\nsales. They will do coffee and coffee related
\nsales for large and small businesses. Recently
\nChoice Coffee just entered into a contract with
\nGore Mountain.<\/p>\n

“Business has been doing extremely well,”
\nsaid Maynard. The store had their grand opening
\nceremony on Oct. 16.<\/p>\n

Choice Coffee is open Monday through
\nWednesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursday
\nthrough Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday
\nfrom 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday from 10
\na.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 741-
