Caribou Coffee Company

Food & Drink Weekly, June 9, 2003

The interim CEO of Caribou Coffee Company has agreed to take the corporate reins on a full time basis. Michael J. Coles has been running Caribou on an interim for nearly five months while the company's owners conducted a nationwide search for a full-time CEO. Prior to joining Caribou, Coles founded the Great American Cookie Company in 1977 with an initial investment of only $8000.

It had more than 350 stores when he sold the company to Capricorn Inc. in 1998.
