Our Beloved Starbucks Has Sprouted New Growth!
There is nobody who is more thrilled to see Starbucks rebound than ATP.  This training company was literally created day by day at various Starbucks cafe's in and around Portland years ago.  Now, like coming full circle, we are proud to be their exclusive trainers as they open their first store offering alcohol in Portland, Oregon. 

"The coffee retailer’s de facto founder and CEO, Howard Schultz, sits in an upholstered chair squeezed into the shop’s front corner. He’s focused and unflappable, laying out the details of the company’s remarkable recent recovery." Read more here at Success Magazine.


OLCC Over-Service Research and Educational Project
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission and the Responsible Retailing Forum (RRF) are embarking on a joint research and educational project to study over-service of alcohol at retail businesses. The project will take place this fall in the Portland metropolitan area.
RRF personnel will visit up to 60 OLCC licensed businesses in and around Portland to obtain
first-hand experience on how businesses deal with over-service. The RRF employees are
specialized in undercover observations regarding intoxicated customers. Read more here.
