Google Offers beta starts in Portland, Oregon tomorrow

Portlanders know how to mix the urban (killer coffee, music and art) and the small-town (easy walking, biking and socializing). There’s no end to the city’s great restaurants, coffee shops, hot spots and places to explore. That’s why, when we started planning the Google Offers beta, we knew Portland was the ideal place to get it all kicked off.
Today, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt and VP of Commerce Stephanie Tilenius announced at the
D9 Conference
that we’re launching
Google Offers beta
in Portland, Ore. tomorrow.
Our first Google Offer will be from beloved local java shop
Floyd’s Coffee
. Husband-and-wife team Jack Inglis and Cris Chapman opened Floyd’s seven years ago, offering up espresso, coffee, breakfast burritos and more. They now have two convenient locations—one cozy, brick-lined shop in
Old Town
and another
Stumptown
watering-hole in
Buckman
.
With Google Offers, we’re working with great local businesses like Floyd’s Coffee,
Le Bistro Montage
,
Powell’s Books
and
Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade
to help them reach more Portlanders. We hope to bring Google Offers to other cities soon, with New York City and the San Francisco Bay area as our next stops.
You can learn more about Google Offers and sign up at
google.com/offers
. If you’re a business interested in participating in Google Offers,
you can let us know too
. Finally, if you’re at the
Portland Rose Festival
this Saturday, visit our Google booth at
CityFair
to say hello to our team and learn more about Google Offers.
