luannski : Thank you for the tips

kankan thank you for the tips

Well, that's 2 more KDC Exchange GCs that are no longer any good. I have $25 GC for the Texas Q BBQ now this. Gotta use "em quick as you get'em at this rate.

donnatella : They were one of the ones I was thinking about getting. ADC had prizes for the Texas Bakery and they closed up too. Maybe I should stick with a chain. 🙁

peppermintstick : Cost efficiency.

MrsTfromADC : The exchange is supposed to be to support local vendors, but at this rate, there won't be too many left.

luannski : What did the pastries have to do with their law suit? All coffee shops have them.
Was Dutch B trying to force them to be part of them?

MrsTfromADC : Sorry to see this close.

donnatella : It's getting hard to do. I loved that bakery. I even had a card for free coffee "for life". That turned out to be about a year.
The profit margins are just so thin most of these small places can't make it.

Sounds like the Dutch Brothers are a couple of ******s.

If they have a trademark on their name they have to defend it or they could lose it.

MrsTfromADC : Oh, that is sad, they were nice people. I would think that being in the coffee business is Not easy, when you are fighting Eightbucks, and other,large chain coffee places. I wish them well!

dang, I still had like $8 on my gift card

MrsTfromADC : Oh no! I have a GC for them that I got here from KDC. I tried to go there but they were closed. I think they closed at 1 pm.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Reivax : donnatella : Hey, send me a PM, we can switch your cards for something new….
