[Grovenet] P.S.

[Glenn Berkheimer]

Oh my, I did not know that.  That means I owe a big apology then.  I am just so concerned that people do not look and shop local.  It is not only so hard to keep a place going in Forest Grove and so many of other businesses I have spoken with tell me of hard times and that Forest Grove is not business friendly then just to see our own local citizens leave to shop and eat elsewhere.  I completely understand if it is not available here locally and I am soooooooooo careful that I remember this when I shop.  I could have gotten some of my parts cheaper this past weekend at Lowes but I stopped and rethought my decision and purchased them here.  I only wish more would stop and do the same.  Maybe our town would not be so bad off them.

> To be fair, even though you can find a Dutch Bros. outlet throughout the state of Oregon, with the only retail, sit-down shop located in Grants Pass, most of the Dutch Bros. drive-ups are franchises.  The one in Forest Grove is a franchise owned by a Forest Grove resident.  Yes, they are part of the Dutch Bros. conglomerate but the owner is indeed a member of our community.

Yes B.J. is some what of a competor but I am much happier to see this than see Forest Grove people flocking to Starbucks or Dutch Bro's.  Here's a topper for you.  We had all the contractors in the soon to be coffee pisno bar and they were going through it making notes and measurements.  They came back 3 or 4 times that day.  Well they had just left for a short and said they would be bank shortly so I said fine.  I realized I had to go to my house to pick up something (this was about 30 minutes later on) and when I passed Dutch Brothers there they were, lined up.  I know I should have just said nothing and let it pass but I see our local businesses closing up all over town and it is primarley due to us that this is happening.  Obviously I am not going to use them now.
