It is possible to make life feel like a celebration if you visit a coffee shop on any day of the year, but on March 21, the dial gets turned up to 11.Stores will be decorated with balloons, baristas will dance to the music, and you can even order cake bites.During the birthday celebration, the Home Office staff goes on the road to visit stores and help out if needed.Bob Fish said that he and Mike make it a point to visit as many stores as possible during the birthday celebration.We like to cheer on the baristas, chat with customers, and spend time with the family that started 23 years ago.

Store 1's birthday celebration is one of the favorites of co-CEO Mike McFall.It is a day to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future.We see the annual birthday celebration as a way to share that with the world because we get to wake up every day part of the family.

Make sure you budget time to visit your neighborhood baristas on this special day.
