SALEM, OR – Number 17 Coffee will launch its Indiegogo.com Campaign on June 4, 2014 to raise funds to open its first super-premium coffee restaurant. It is offering perks from as little as $1 dollar for a “Thank You,” to a $1 million invitation to its world Grand Opening party in Las Vegas, NV on October 30, 2014.
Number 17 Coffee will serve super-premium coffees in luxurious settings much like high-end wine or whiskey bars. Number 17 Coffee’s founder,
Brad Hartung, said, “The only thing more scarce than these rare and exotic coffees is a good place to enjoy them.” Las Vegas, NV will be the site of its first restaurant.
Super-premium coffees such as Kona from Hawaii or the Green Tipped Bourbon variety from St. Helena’s Island will be offered at Number 17 Coffee. Hartung said, “The mission is to brew exotic and unusual coffee from all over the world and let our customers taste truly unique coffee flavors that are not covered up with a lot of milk and sugar.”
In addition, Number 17 Coffee will start cultivating its own super-premium coffee by growing trees in climate-controlled greenhouses. “To grow the best coffee beans you need a magic combination of sun & clouds, humidity, soil, rain, and believe it or not drought,” said Hartung.
“By controlling the climate we want to create a consistent supply of consistently great tasting coffee here in the United States.
The $1 million dollar Indiegogo.com perk will coincide with the Formula 1 Grand Prix race weekend in Austin, TX. The campaign is looking to attract backers of all sizes from all over the country with several perks in $5 to $100 range.
