Recently Chris Sherman, former food critic of the St. Petersburg Times, wrote an article about the unusually large coffee presence located in Clearwater for publication in the Times lifestyle magazine. What is unique about Clearwater, as Mr. Shrman points out, is that it has 3 Allied manufacturers- that is companies that produce goods for the coffee industry but not necessarily coffee itself. The companies are Melitta (North American HQ), Monin Gourmet Syrups (U.S bottling plant and HQ), and Ambex Roast and Control. It is kinda cool when you think about it, a city this size with that much impact upon, influence, etc... in a global industry like coffee. Why are we all located here: Why the weather of course!
