"A Watertown coffeebar located at 810 Mt. Auburn St. that debuted as the brand’s local test site, paired with an adjacent coffee training lab and sales office; the arrangement underscores a focus on barista–customer interaction and staff education while the company explored expansion in Boston and Cambridge. The operation is part of a Chicago-based direct-trade business that was majority-acquired by Peet’s Coffee in 2015." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
