STRUGGLING CITY\u2019S COFFEESHOP SERVES IT ALL<\/b>: <\/p>\n The key to the shop\u2019s comprehensive business plan: offer as many services as possible to any conceivable customer. In the florescent-lit rooms behind espresso machines, walk-in clients can see a notary or submit a urine sample. If that\u2019s not enough, go upstairs to have family portraits taken in the on-site photography studio. <\/p>\n Jimmy Jackson made use of the document-services center last week, printing job applications as he waited to testify in court. He said his brother, whose custody case was pending, had his taxes done during the trial. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd the coffee ain\u2019t half bad,\u201d Jackson added. <\/p>\n On a normal day, jurors and lawyers mix with criminal defendants, city bureaucrats cross paths with recovering addicts from the nearby methadone clinic \u2014 and everyone comes to see Mona Pryor, whose job title as City Coffee\u2019s operations director scarcely hints at her many roles. <\/p>\n \u201cLawyers are always coming in here to ask me to put in a good word with judge so-and-so, or asking me to introduce them to someone from the other side,\u201d said Pryor. She is the one-woman force behind most of City Coffee\u2019s services, with an associate\u2019s degree in accounting and a variety of specialty certificates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n more<\/a> (via Ratty<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" STRUGGLING CITY\u2019S COFFEESHOP SERVES IT ALL: The key to the shop\u2019s comprehensive business plan: offer as many services as possible to any conceivable customer.
