Sacramento Bee:

Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. announced that its first location in Tampa, Florida located at 3601 W. Gandy Blvd. opened for business at 5:00am on Thursday, February 2, 2012.

The opening occurred after the Baristas team arrived to a warm welcome by Marshall Advertising whom it teamed up with to promote the opening at Tampa’s Gasparilla festival. Baristas utilized Marshall Advertising’s historic mansion located adjacent to the festivals grounds and parade route as home base for the promotion which was attended by many notable locals and a special appearance by Santa Clause.

Prior to the Tampa opening, Baristas also held a casting call for its new reality show in development by Emmy award winning Mark Mayer of M&M productions.
