Cutting the ribbon on a fresh cup of Starbucks

Quoting Howard Schultz, chairman and former CEO of Starbucks, Alamosa Mayor Ty Coleman (front, far left) said “Success is empty if you arrive at the finish line alone. The best reward is to get there surrounded by winners.” Coleman called store manager Kayleigh Westerman, cutting the ribbon, and her staff “all winners that helped make the original dream of this Starbucks become a reality in our community.” Westerman, an Alamosa native, is surrounded by staff and other well-wishers at Saturday’s grand opening.
