Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

Pot O’ Gold was founded by Larry Jones in 1986 with the dream of providing the very best coffee, equipment and service to the office environment. Since then, we’ve grown to become the largest independent office coffee service in Washington state, expanding to include more than just coffee. Whatever you need for your office breakroom, whether it’s carbonated water coolers or delicious snacks, we’re able to supply you with it. Regardless of the size and demands of your office, we have a uniquely-suited program to meet it. We champion our customers’ needs, maintain quality relationships, and supply personal service recommendations uniquely suited to each individual client. We install commercial coffee brewing equipment (fresh brew, thermal, single cup, semi-auto espresso and fully-auto espresso equipment) in offices throughout the Puget Sound region. We provide routine cleaning and maintenance to this equipment while checking inventory and delivering quality coffee and related products. Over the years, we’ve gained considerable knowledge in the storing, brewing, serving and presentation of high-end coffees for an office environment. Everyone at Pot O’ Gold Coffee Service accepts the responsibilities involved with offering high-quality coffees on an institutional level. Our genuine commitment to provide true value and quality is supported by our investment in futuristic brewing designs and our comprehensive service programs
