Room By Room, Inc.: Review for Room By Room, Inc.
When it comes to selling on the web, some products really work. Others don't. We wouldn't stake our reputation on any interior finish unless we could see it, touch it, and make sure each piece works with the entire design package! Because we have a hunch you feel the same way, you can step into our huge showroom and point to real, not virtual products. You, or your custom home buyer, can browse through thousands of samples of carpet, tile, stone, lighting fixtures, laminate, wall coverings and more, all in a single location. Think of the time you'll save! To make all those finishes "gel" in your new home why not take advantage of our free professional design consultants. They're real too!

Rich's Cigar Store: Review for Rich's Cigar Store
In our store at 820 S.W. in the heart of Downtown Portland, we have expanded our inventory to over 2500 periodicals, 1500 facings of cigars, hundreds of pipes, and over 200 blends of Tobacco on display. Our increased humidor storage areas allow up to keep an inventory of several thousands of boxes of cigars on hand for immediate shipment or in-store purchases. An essential element for pipe smoking is the right tobacco blend. With this in mind we have brought in a master tobacco blender with over 30 years experience. Has your favorite Tobacco become increasingly difficult to find? Then put him in use to create a new blend to suit your needs. He has already created a new blend to fill the void of a popular Balkan blend, and we age all blends so that their full richness and taste come through each time you light up a bowl. This 1999-2000 catalogue is but a small representation of merchandise we carry. View our products online, or order a print catalog today. Please call us at 800.699.1527 for further information on availability and prices, or e-mail us at info@richscigarstore.com. Our sales staff is happy to assist with recommendations, product information and alternatives to guide you with your purchases. They are not merely order takers, so please put them to use. This could be the most important service we offer.

Pizza Schmizza: Review for Pizza Schmizza
With creative pizzas and wacky decor, Pizza Schmizza is a great place to grab a slice or an entire pie. Of course there are old favorites such as cheese and pepperoni, but there are also such pizzas as spicy Thai, Yucatán-style, Spaghetti and Meatballs and even Alligator! We also serve a variety of pasta and salads. When you walk into a Pizza Schmizza you will encounter an atmosphere that has been created to be a fun gathering place. Unique art, neon lights, arcade games, and televisions provide the perfect setting to compliment the incredible aroma and taste of our New York style pizza. It is common to find groups of all ages sharing lively conversations as they eat their meal. Pizza Schmizza is more than great pizza, it’s an entertaining destination! While the business strategy, the employees, and the atmosphere are all important elements, the folks at Pizza Schmizza take great pride in producing their pizza. Every pizza is hand-made and only uses the freshest ingredients available. Pizza Schmizza also has an amazing line of pasta dishes and some of the freshest salads around. One of the fastest-growing independent pizza chains in the Pacific Northwest, is currently focusing its franchise development effort in very specific territories including Washington, California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Texas. Schmizza pies are unique and different, with names like "No Kiss Tonite" (LOTS of garlic and onions), "Popeye and Olive Oil" (spinach, of course), and familiar standbys like the plain cheese and pepperoni, for less adventuresome diners.

Peet's Coffee & Tea: Review for Peet's Coffee & Tea
On the day Alfred Peet opened his first coffee store on the corner of Walnut and Vine Streets in Berkeley, CA, he quietly began a revolution in the way Americans experienced the taste and quality of their coffee – a revolution that persists to this day. Born in Holland, Alfred Peet grew up in the coffee trade and moved to America after World War II. Appalled at the poor quality of coffee being consumed by Americans, he became inspired to open the first Peet’s Coffee & Tea store on April 1, 1966. His style of coffee was a radical departure from what was then available, emphasizing smaller batches, freshness, superior quality beans, and a darker roasting style that produced coffee with richness and complexity. By 1969, Peet’s Coffee & Tea became a gathering place for coffee devotees, and this success attracted other artisan food purveyors to the neighborhood, which soon became known as the Gourmet Ghetto. Alfred Peet further catalyzed the specialty coffee movement when he mentored and inspired a generation of coffee entrepreneurs, including the founders of Starbucks, whom he supplied with Peet’s roasted beans during their first years of operation. Over the past four decades, Peet’s growth has been fueled by ever-increasing numbers of coffee lovers in the San Francisco Bay Area and across the nation. With each generation of Peet’s leadership, we have remained true to the quality tenets of our founder, inspired by the same unrelenting pursuit of quality. Our purpose has not changed since 1966 – to seek out opportunities to raise the expectations of American coffee drinkers by attracting and serving those who truly love the taste of coffee, for whom a cup of coffee could only mean a cup of Peet’s.
