A good cup of coffee is a staple of most people’s days. It is a great start to the day, and a great coffee shop is the perfect place to meet for business or pleasure. Since 2018, The Coffee Mill has been providing people with the best coffee in Largo.

Still using the original roaster fom ‘83, when there was originally a gift shop on the site, it is 1 of only 5 fluid bed roasters in the whole US. They have 62 different different coffees, and they partner with Jupiter Donuts, which is the perfect partnership.

Hannah and her mother, part of a winning team, tells how they are always improving, and studying the process of roasting, so that they can continue to improve.

Hannah fell in love with the shop when she worked for the previous owner, and that joke that she would always own the shop, was provided with a wonderful punchline, when that dream came true.

They are carrying a torch that the previous owner, Tracy picked up from the owner of Joffrey’s coffee, of continual improvement.

They donate to Anona Elementary, and the church they go to, and they are very active in the local community. They are members of the Pinellas Chamber, and are looking to expand into new locations, and bringing the gift of coffee to everyone with the wonderful idea of a coffee box, to make those 62 coffees available to everyone.

Chris and Barbara have owned Chris's Carpet Services for 41 years. They started out as a carpet installer, working with carpet upholstery, and also grout cleaning. 20 years ago they decided to add another

string to their bow and they began dealing with water damage. Always looking for new ways in which they can help people, 5 years ago they got their state license in mold remediation.

Barbara attributes their success to the personal touch that they bring to every job. With water damage and mold problems, it can be a very stressful time for the clients, and Chris' Carpet Service & Water Restoration handhold them through the whole process, so that when they come out the other end they are completely happy. The clients appreciate this degree of care in trying times. One great example of going the extra mile is when a technician, while working to repair the damage in a client's home, helped put groceries away so they didn't spoil, because the owner was out of the house.

Chris, like many people who become experts in their field, apprenticed as a carpet installer and picked it up so well that he branched out on his own. Chris became a master and is able to work on Axminster carpets, which requires a degree of expertise that is not common in the field. He would hand sew these high end carpets that have to be handled very carefully, working all night to repair them. This specialist knowledge has, over the years, saved their clients thousands in insurance costs - where most people would not know what to do.



All of the team at Chris' Carpet Services all go to IICRC, the Institute Of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification for their ongoing education. Chris is a Master Cleaner trained in handling water damage, carpet cleaning, and mold remediation.

To help the community, the company will help lder people and those who are in need. Chris' Carpet Services are part of the Central Pinellas Chamber Of Commerce, BNI Nexus, and they have BBB A+ rating, and 5 stars on Yelp.

Chris and Barbara both originally come from New York State and moved to Florida on the same day, and met a year later.

They both love the business, especially the interaction with the customers, and making people happy. Recently they worked on 2 back to back mold jobs, which took 3 weeks for each job, and the two clients, who were friends with each other, were both very happy with the work that was done. Some jobs are harder than others, and Chris' Carpet Services recently had to deal with one of the worst sewage blocks they had ever seen in a home - Barbara described the damage as disastrous: the lady had no insurance and they had to tear out walls, but they handled the issue and were very proud of the work, and the customer was incredibly happy.

Chris' Carpet Services & Water Restoration are a Family Owned, Full Service Company, who prize customer service and quality of service very highly - something their customers would readily confirm.

If you call and mention this article you can get $100 off your deductible for water damage.

Ray Cassano Is The #1 Realtor In Pinellas County

Imagine that you play a sport that can be played in a team or solo, and that your solo efforts were set against those of a team - hardly fair, right? The same would be true if you were to match a single person's sales to that of a collective - it makes sense that multiple people are going to be able to do more and generate more money, if they are working effectively, than a single individual. Look at the individual production of each member of that team and match their statistics against those of a stellar solo player, and you would be looking at a totally different picture. Should team production and individual production be ranked in the same way? Is it not confusing to rank independents and teams together?

If you look at the success of Ray Cassano, he ranks in the top fifty, when matched against those teams who work in real estate - so he is holding his own. If you judge him person to person against individual agents he is head and shoulders above everyone. As a person looking to get the perfect piece of real estate, wouldn't you want the stellar solo player in your court rather than the person whose statistics may be muddied by being mixed in with the work of their team mates?

If you work with Ray, you know you are getting a real estate professional with 44 years of experience who has a passion and a drive to deliver that dream home to you, or to make sure your business is able to inhabit that perfect spot you picked out. If you get someone whose statistics are commingled by the influence of those they work with and their performance, maybe all you can say about them is that they are a great team player (not a bad thing, but not the same as a star solo player by any means!). Buying a home is an important decision, and finding a place to set up your business can be vital to its success - so being able to clearly see someone's statistics in doing that is a great indication that you can place your trust in them to do the same for you.

In any field there are those who excel - those who consistently demonstrate their brilliance in the field in which they operate. In real estate, in the Clearwater area, one realtor does that: Ray Cassano. Ray is an award winning realtor who has been number one in his field for a long time, and his business continues growing from strength to strength.

Ray is well known in the Clearwater community, and his business, Station Square Realty, is a landmark. It was founded in 2004 and has helped many people to find the perfect piece of real estate for them. He is the prime realtor in downtown, and is a Realtor Emeritus, a status awarded because of the amount of time he has been in real estate, and the quality of service. He has been selling real estate for over 44 years, and he and his colleagues at Station Square Realty are GRI qualified (Graduates of Real Estate Institute), an honor given only to the top real estate agents in the country.

Ray has expressed before his desire to boom Clearwater and make it into one of the finest cities on Earth, and he has contributed to that in a lot of ways. Clearwater is a great place to live, and Station Square Realty's passion for helping people find the exact right property for them has been.

Ray sums it up on his website: "I love helping people get one of their biggest dreams, which is their own house or business!!"
