Support Moxie Java
Letter to the editor

I am writing to express my concern regarding Vons’ plans to put a Starbucks
inside Vons at 28715 Los Alisos Blvd., Mission Viejo, in the center adjacent to the former Kmart site.

As a member of the community and a customer of Vons, I strongly oppose the
plan. Moxie Java is a local establishment and a strong supporter of our
community. There are numerous Starbucks throughout the area, but Moxie is
the establishment that supports our schools, community activities, churches
and local musicians.

I will take my business elsewhere if Vons destroys that benefit by putting in a Starbucks. Vons should support the local community and realize we want our citizens to run successful businesses. The business Moxie Java generates supports Vons’ store. There have been many times that I have gone for my coffee at Moxie and then picked up groceries at Vons.
I ask that Vons reconsider its decision. It will greatly impact the opinion of Vons’ image within the area.
