Starbucks Supports Rodeos SHARK has informed us that the STARBUCKS coffee chain is now lending
support to rodeos. Unfortunately, after several phone calls back and forth,
the usual corporate garbage letter was sent out (below). Please take a
moment to contact Jeff Vedvick, Customer Relations, at We will try to schedule a demo within the next few weeks. A petition on
this subject is included: Subj: Rodeo Kylie, Starbucks is deeply committed to our Mission Statement and Guiding
Principles. One of our six principles is "contributing positively to our
community," and one of the ways that we contribute is by supporting events
that are important to the local communities that we serve. As a part of the Cheyenne, WY community, we wanted to show our support
for the Cheyenne Frontier Days celebration; a large event which includes art
shows, Native American cultural events, parades, amusement rides, a rodeo
and other activities. We showed our support by taking out a $250
advertisement in a Cheyenne Frontier Days brochure, inviting those who
attended the festival to enjoy a Starbucks beverage at our local store
before or after the event. We value and appreciate your feedback, and we will continue to look for
ways to support our local communities in a responsible way. Sincerely, Jeff V. Starbucks Coffee Company ##### PETITION AGAINST STARBUCKS SUPPORT OF RODEOS:
