Stan’s Returns to the Bonita Blues Festival

Last weekend, Stan’s Coffee and Food Service was delighted to participate once again in the annual Bonita Blues Festival! A few of Stan’s employees dedicated their time on Friday and Saturday to help sell Stan’s products including coffee, cappuccino, smoothies, and other beverages in order to raise money for the event’s three charity benefactors– Music for Minors Foundation, The Music Therapy Program at the Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida, and the Bonita Springs Assistant Office.

People attending the festival were very excited to see that Stan’s had returned again this year and loved being able to enjoy our coffee and smoothies as they listened to the music.

We are excited to donate 100% of our earnings from the festival to the charities involved.  Stan’s will be making a donation in the amount of $1,400 to those foundations.  If you would like more information on the Bonita Blues Festival or you would like to donate to any of these charities, feel free to visit http://www.bonitablues.com/ .

Joe Lee – Outstanding Service For Over 50 Years

Joe old_edited-2On October 5, 1965, Stan’s gained what ended up to be its longest working employee.  Joe Lee was hired by the original owner of Stan’s, Stan Vosney, as a delivery man.   He delivered products for Bill Vosney, Stan’s son.

Eventually, Joe took over Bill’s sales route when Bill went in to work at the office.   Joe was now selling products to customers in Naples, Marco Island, Punta Gorda, Clewiston and Labelle.  Since Joe was new to the sales part of the business, Stan had him enrolled in the Dale Carnegie course to help improve his sales skills.

In 1969, Joe won the Accent Challenge, a national competition to see who could sell the most of the product, Accent.  Joe’s prize for winning this competition was a brand new 1969 Mustang, as seen in the picture to the left.  After this accomplishment, Joe continued to improve and move up at Stan’s Coffee Service, and now expanded his sales to the areas of Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs, Sanibel, and Captiva.  Joe’s dedication to sales is a strong factor in the success of Stan’s Coffee Service today.  After helping with the expansion and obtaining many new customers for Stan’s, Joe then concentrated on building up the business in the Collier County area.  He is presently semi-retired, and is soliciting new accounts throughout Stan’s entire sales market.

Along with his success in the work world, Joe is a joy to anybody he meets.  He served the community by coaching children with the Riverdale Wildcats Pop Warner football team, even winning the Junior Pee Wee division in 1985.  His light-heartedness and fantastic customer service makes him a joy to work with.  Joe always has something to say to make his customers and co-workers smile or laugh.

Without Joe’s dedication and hard work, Stan’s may not be the success that it is today.  On behalf of the entire Stan’s family, we want to thank Joe Lee for his exceptional service, and wish him a happy retirement.  Thanks, Joe!

On March 6th and 7th 2015, Stan’s had the opportunity to participate in the Bonita Blues Festival.  Over the past 7 years, this event has raised over $76,000 to donate to three charities.  While enjoying the music from 11 different bands, we sold coffee, lemonade, and other refreshments to the crowd of over 3000 people.  Doing this, the company was able to raise $734 which will be donated to this years featured charities which are Golisano Children’s Hospital Music Therapy Program, the Music for Minors Foundation of Lee and Collier Counties, and the Bonita Springs Assistance Office.

We had a blast participating in this event.  Customers from past years of the festival were excited to see Stan’s participating again. Our Organic Mexican Chiapas coffee was very well received, customers loved it.  We are grateful to have raised the most money at the Bonita Blues Festival that we ever have in the past, and can’t wait to continue participating in future years.
