Alfred Peet passes away

Posted by on September 6, 2007

Alfred Peet, founder of Peet’s Coffee, passed away last week (cancer was the cause). While perhaps best known of his chain of Peet’s Coffee & Tea stores throughout the western US, his influence spread much further. For example, the founders of Starbucks got their start in the business working for Mr. Peet. You can read more at the SFGate or New York Times.
