Color Me Mine

Coffee News publishes a weekly local advertising periodical in print and online that is designed for people to read while sitting, waiting, or eating in restaurants, coffee shops, and other public places. We sell advertising space to local businesses and distribute the publication through restaurant and other high-traffic locations within a defined geographic territory. Restaurants and similar food service businesses often place the publication for their customers as a free community service, while advertisers use it to reach local readers. The print edition is delivered weekly, and Coffee News Online offers a mobile-ready digital version with many of the same features plus added marketing opportunities. Local issues also include community and event listings, along with advertising content tailored to the territory.
