Wings
In his delightful blog, “Coffee Diary,” Coffeeman, President and “head of the house” at Gillies, Donald N. Schoenholt (right), announced an innovative new product line, for which Amherst Label printed labels:
This month (March 2015) Gillies Coffee has introduced Gillies Coffee On-Tap at The International Restaurant & Foodservice Show in New York where it won an innovative product award. Available in several blends in both “Still” and “Stout” styles I have hopes that it will find favor among our city’s chef restaurateurs, baristas, and food & beverage managers.
Hoorays
At Amherst Label, we have white boards for anyone to write goals, thoughts, thank you’s and hoorays. The white boards are black with colorful markers nearby. Today we shout out “HOORAY” for Gillies Coffee On-Tap for their spirit of adventure and innovation.
