SEATTLE, April 13, 2012 -- Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (OTCPK: BCCI) announced that its second location in Missoula, Montana, located at 1515 Dearborn, opened for business at 5:00am on April 13, 2012. The opening is in time for the Helena Bighorns AWHL Championship Game #1 held across the street.

The location in the parking lot between the Lucky Strike Casino http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lucky-Strike-Casino/104061135823 , the Missoula County Fairgrounds http://www.westernmontanafair.com and the Glacier Ice Rink http://www.glaciericerink.com, home of the Missoula Maulers, a USA Hockey sanctioned hockey team, is now open. This highly desirable location has undergone a complete remodel and upgrade so as to represent the Baristas brand.

Barry Henthorn CEO stated, "This location has had very enthusiastic response and is very well situated in order to complement our other location in Montana that opened weeks ago in the Parking lot of Montana Harley Davidson. The relationship with The Lucky Strike Casino allows for many synergistic cross promotional opportunities. In addition, the tie in potential with the Maulers www.missoulamaulers.com is a natural fit. Having the second location also enhances our logistics, helps with staffing, and reduces our cost of goods sold."

About Baristas Coffee Company (BCCI): Headquartered in the Seattle, Washington area, Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. was formed to create a national brand of drive-thru espresso stands. BCCI is accomplishing this by acquiring established businesses that fit its model, opening new locations, and by franchising. Baristas has separated itself from the competition with its "theme" of joining attractive female baristas in entertaining costumes preparing the finest beverages available on the market. Baristas can currently be found in six greater Seattle area locations as well as in Texas, Florida, and Montana. Your state, Coming Soon!
