Owners Kelly & Eric Thompson have been in the coffee business for over 4 years locally and are excited to bring the Kokanee coffee brand to the Bonners Ferry area. When the opportunity arose to transition the torch from Mojo’s to Kokanee Coffee, Kelly jumped at the chance to step in to the stand. The uniqueness of the small town, conservative community, family, faith and freedom are close to her heart. Her grandfather grew up in Bonners Ferry. Her family is 3rd generation owning logging and quarry companies. Kelly plans to embrace the culture and celebrate the Bonners Ferry heritage.
