Since 1993 Ann has supported Starbucks Coffee Company with their development into

Colorado, and later Utah and Wyoming. Her responsibilities included a visit to each

proposed new location to measure, photograph, and document existing conditions.

Additional research would uncover potential code issues and constraints or problems

to overcome. The resulting extensive report which included computer drawings of

the proposed space, was used to determine if the site would meet Starbucks’ expecta-

tions. This process was used initially for the tenant space Starbucks locations and later also

for the stand-alone drive-through properties. After the site location was approved, the

concept drawings were developed in Seattle and passed back to Ann who reviewed

the drawings, corrected and added clarification as needed, then coordinated the local

engineering disciplines in preparation for her submittal for plan review and

building permit. Ann was instrumental in providing insight and coordination with the

numerous building and health jurisdictions as well as being Starbucks’ eyes and ears

for any pending jurisdictional changes. To date, over 175 stores have been created.
