Layoff of Baristas - Peets Silver Spring Closing

On Oct. 12, the 14 staff of Peets Coffee in Silver Spring, MD learned that their store is closing permanently on Oct. 30. Since 2014, manager Mark Wilson and his team successfully created and have maintained an exceptionally welcoming place. A wide diversity of people from various walks of life talked, worked, and made new friends and acquaintances. Especially during this pandemic, we have come to rely on the friendly, capable crew at our Peets for a good start to our day.

Please join us by donating to thank the Peets Silver Spring staff and financially support them during this unexpected and undeserved job termination - without severance. We will miss them, and so will their parent corporation – the Silver Spring store is one of the top revenue producers for Peets in metro DMV.

A group of longtime customers initiated and are managing this fundraiser - no former or current Peets employees have been involved. 100% of money raised will go to these essential workers who have earned our respect and loyalty. Please, please add your words of support after you click donate (and skip the social media step if you wish). Thanks!
