Vermont's Howard BEAN Café Seeks New OwnerWhat do you call a Vermont coffee shop owned by a Deaniac? The Howard BEAN Café, of course!
Patrick Mullikin is on a campaign to find a new candidate to take on Howard BEAN.
Mullikin, who owns Montpelier’s Riverwalk Records and the Howard BEAN Café, a State Street store/café that sells rare and collectible records and serves up coffee and live music, is selling the café. He’s looking for a buyer who isn’t interested in changing the store a whole lot.
”As our
café continues to gain a national following, we want to be certain that
the person who takes over is truly the ideal candidate and will
continue to serve a no-frills, affordable cup of coffee. None of that
$4-a-cup, whoop-de-do, latte-boca-cucaracha-grande nonsense,” Mullikin
says, “The Howard BEAN is, after all, a café for America.
The ideal owner would be someone within the Dean network.”On Election Day 2004, Mullikin opened the Howard BEAN Café, a place to get coffee and hear live music. The Central Vermont Democracy for America (formerly Dean for America) holds its monthly Meetup meetings there. Howard Dean sent Mullikin a signed photograph wishing him luck in his venture.
