The idea behind stimulating one small business is that the company will then buy more things wholesale and help other companies and their employees, said Ted Welte, president and chief executive officer of the MetroWest Chamber of Commerce, based in Framingham.
“It’s all about the multiplier,’’ he said. “If people are spending money on a new roaster, say, that starts flowing through the economy of whoever produced that, and then more people can be serviced out of the coffee shop, and that means more money coming in.’’
The multiplier in this case is a federal stimulus loan recently provided to
Red Barn Coffee Rosters of Upton. Red Barn is the coffee supplier for
Cafe Dolce in Franklin.
I have tried several of the blends during my visits to
Cafe Dolce and found them to be good and tasteful.
Have you visited Cafe Dolce recently? Try their
Red Barn coffee and keep the multiplier effect going!
