Starbucks in Mount Shasta: Coffee joint owner hopes petition will keep it away
Mount Shasta Herald
The owner of a drive-thru coffee joint in Mount Shasta is hoping an online petition that’s garnered more than 1,000 signatures will keep Starbucks from coming to town.
Suzzanne Mendenhall opened The Coffee Brake in the Rite Aid parking lot 20 years ago. Starbucks is eyeing the dilapidated KFC/Taco Bell building, which is almost directly across W. Lake Street from the Coffee Brake.
“Multinational corporations have no place in our rural town – where the residents depend and rely on locally owned businesses,” said Amber Nelson, who created the petition for Mendenhall last week. “The opening of a Starbucks in Mount Shasta opens the door to further undue development. Mount Shasta will lose its essence, making it hardly distinguishable from a chaotic and bustling commercial city.”

These nonprofits got a little slice of Mount Shasta s budget
Mount Shasta Herald
Mount Shasta city councilors last Monday heard the city s budget is in the black – despite challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic – and decided to allocate funds to the Visitor s Center, the Siskiyou Economic Development Council, Meals on Wheels, and Sisson Museum.
Although the city has suffered loss, finance director Muriel Howarth Terrell said that loss is balancing out with new income from sales, Transient Occupancy Tax and property tax dollars because people continue to travel to Mount Shasta, and local people are shopping close to home.
“The difficulty is, yes we are doing better in sales and property taxes – but not on expenditures,” said Howarth Terrell.
