What type of company is Schulte's 38th Street Store &
Coffee House?
Schulte's is a locally owned Convenience Store and
Coffee House.
What are the company values?
Our mission has, and always will be, customer service. We
really believe that if we can't be the most cost-effective place in
town for customers, we will make sure that their experience at
Schulte's is top notch! We don't want to be 'just another
gas station'. That same customer service-oriented attitude
flows right into the Coffee House. A second priority we value
is product quality. We want people leaving Schulte's with
something they are going to enjoy and brings them back again
and again. 100% satisfied not only with their experience,
but also any of our items they spent their hard-earned
money on. Lastly, but certainly not least – community. Our
neighborhood store was built by, and is still operating today, by
the supportive community around us. When Mark and Judy
started this business, they made local groups a priority when
giving back. Community has been the backbone of our
success here at Schulte's.
Goals?
Our goals here at Schulte's are everchanging but always
directly related to our mission and values. We are always
striving to get better and searching for areas of improvement;
but more importantly, including our customers and community
in helping us attain those goals. In turn, we get the wonderful
opportunity to give back when our community needs us.
How long has your business been in GF?
Mark and Judy opened the store in December of 1989. In
the summer of 2001, they opened the Coffee House in the
space next door. The Coffee House has since been expanded
in summers of 2008 and 2014. In 2014 is when we added
Schulte's FroYo to the menu.
What brought you to or why did you choose Great
Falls? Why did you start your business?
Mark and Judy moved to Great Falls from Simms in 1986.
Judy is originally from Great Falls and moving here seemed
like a good fit. While working a different job, Mark was driving
