I have the stock and my info has the founder as a fellow named Bob not Doug. Doug were you the original owner of the cafe in waitsfield?
My Notes from my stock file are as follows:
1981: Robert Stiller purchases an interest in the Green Mountain coffee store in Vermont.(cafe in waitsfield) .
1985: Green Mountain Coffee turns a profit.
1989: Employees form an environmental steering committee.
1991: Company installs $30,000 computerized roaster.
1993: Green Mountain holds initial public offering.
1997: Shares listed on NASDAQ. Green Mountain Coffee is the first roaster to offer coffee in a K-Cup® portion pack for the Keurig Single-Cup Brewing System.Nick Lazaris is named President/CEO of Keurig
In 2006, the company acquired Keurig, Incorporated
So Doug were do you come into it? Just wondering. I feel good about owning the stock because it has done well and because of its awards for its business practices.
