CAFFEINE calm lU Coffee brings a relaxinjj liusphere to the Union Plush chairs in earthy hues ot red, grange, green and hrown encircled a stone fireplace. Soft light came from lanterns. Smooth jazz played in the background. Close your eyes and it could be a coffee house in any big city. Instead, this soothing atmosphere, found in the K-State Student Union, was the first Caribou Coffee on a college campus. Coffee is big with college students, Tina Griftin, food service director for the union, said. We wanted a concept that would drive traffic throughout the building as well as meet the needs of the students. Opening June 7, after more than a year of deliberation. Caribou Coffee was chosen over Starbucks and Radina ' s Coffee House and Roasterie to replace Chillie Willie ' s Ice Cream Parlor on the main floor. The Union Governing Board voted tor Caribou Coffee because of its willingness to serve Call Hall ice cream and work with the existing structure of the location, Griffin said. TTie location, across from the food court, underwent minimal cosmetic changes like adding the fireplace and lighting. TTie changes enhanced the signature atmosphere of Caribou Coffee, Griffin said. Bilgah Moka-Moliki, sophomore in apparel and textiles, said she liked to come in between classes, to study or just surf the Internet. The atmosphere is different; people used to be loud, Moka-Moliki said. The coffee and music are relaxing. This calming atmosphere was exacdy why Patrick Campion, director of marketing tor Caribou Coffee, said the shop would continue to be successful. The reception of Caribou Coffee by the students and staff at K-State has been great, Campion said. We expea to keep growing as more students discover the unique products, service and atmosphere of Caribou Coffee. The company had three stipulations for its partnership with the Union — to sell Caribou Cards (a debit card for Caribou Coffee) and soft goods such as sandwiches, muffins and granola bars. They also wanted the main floor location. The Union is a hub of activity and the location puts us right in the middle of the action, Campion said. Additionally, Caribou Coffee is a great compliment to the other dining and shopping options for students at the Union. Nicole Johnston, senior in mass communications, agreed the location was good for a coffee shop. Otherwise I would have had to leave earlier to go to Starbucks (in Aggie ille), Johnston said. Now I have the option (to get coffee) right before class. After the shop became Caribou Coffee, Jonathan Felber, junior in fine arts, said he liked to sit and read with a Wild Berr ' smoothie. It ' s what I always get, Felber said. The chair is comfy, and I like where it ' s at; you can see a lot of people walking by. Though the shop opened tor business in June, the grand opening was Aug. 23. To celebrate, the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and the Union held a ribbon-cutting ceremony. In addition. Caribou Coffee workers handed out Caribou Bars, and the first 100 people in line received a free mug and coffee. — Tamara .A.ndra — After combining ngredients.
