Shirley's Goes Smoke Free

Shirley’s Coffee Shop took their pro-environment stand to yet another level as they joined the campaign to promote cleaner and fresher air. Though Shirley’s believes in each individual’s right or freedom to smoke, it also believes that smoking is one freedom that should not encroach on other patrons’ freedom for cleaner air, too.

Beginning June 2008, Shirley’s adopted and supported the campaign against second-hand smoke by banning smoking in their premises.

Hesitant at first at how the smoking crowd will respond to the move, Shirley's General Manager Susan Macario conducted a survey among the loyal patrons, both smoking and non-smoking. Some patrons gave hints of opposition early on although much to her suprise, a lot of smokers also expressed that they would still be loyal patrons of Shirley's regardless of the ban, simply because of the good food.

A complete ban of smoking inside the coffee shop therfore was put to place. Considering their smoking patrons, they have provided an area outside the coffee shop facilities, to accomodate them.

True to Shirley’s advocacy, a cleaner air isn’t just a way to enjoy a truly relaxing ambient environment. Everything else at Shirley’s simply comes down to what a second home truly should be. With a place like Shirley’s where you can enjoy excellent food, a friendly staff atmosphere, a steaming cup of coffee, and with wisps of clean, fresh island air to go with your dining experience to boot, what would you not give? With all these, it’s definitely priceless!

Shirley's At It Again

Shirley’s are at it again!

We at Shirley’s don’t just serve the best food on the island, have the friendliest staff and the best service—we also give back to the community by playing an active role in the Beautify CNMI campaign. Shirley’s continues to participate in providing that much needed tender, loving care of our island beaches as its simple way of saying “Si Yuus Maase CNMI!”

On August 27, 2007, Shirley’s management and staffs together with their family members gathered to clean its adopted beach at the Saipan Community School area. This event was highlighted by remembering the birthday celebrants of the months of July and August. This just proves that Shirley’s is indeed an all-around partner in good times, community awareness and great food.

Third Time and There's No Stopping

For the third time, Shirley's Coffee Shop clean up warriors cleaned their adopted beach on March 28, 2007 and there's NO STOPPING THEM!

More clean up sweeps will be done for the next few months, a commitment made by Shirley's Coffee Shop with the Department of Environmental Quality to help "Beautify CNMI". After the clean up, they had a little celebration party at the beach for the birthday celebrants for the months of January, February and March. Birthday songs were sung, candles were blown, food and drinks were shared; of course, hands were sanitized first.

LISS Students Exploring the World of Shirley's

On March 28, 2007, as part of the outside learning process, some twenty four (24) students from Ladera International School of Saipan, together with their teachers visited Shirley's Coffee Shop in Susupe.

The purpose of the tour was to give the students an idea on how a restaurant operates, see its facilities and equipment and observe how actual cooking is done and how food is prepared and served.

After the tour, the students experienced the taste and excitement of the Shirley's Smiling French Fries - one of the items on the Kiddie Meals menu - which they found to be very enjoyable.

According to Genevie Georfo-Angeles, one of the teachers from LISS, "Service at Shirley's is good. The food were served hot. Request for the group of kids who are not allowed to drink anything with caffeine, were attended to immediately. Servers were quick to offer alternatives."

She added, "We are very thankful that Shirley's Coffee Shop accomodated our students during the tour. We will definitely include Shirley's on our field trip itinerary in the future."
