Brownwood Bulletin 3A
STEVE NASH | BROWNWOOD BULLETIN
ABOVE: Tahiti Texas has added coffee and tea products and will stay open year-round
for the first time. BELOW: The strawberry apple latte Pat McLaughlin mixed looks good
enough to drink — and it was.
BUSINESS
CONTINUED FROM 1A
syrup, espresso, steamed
milk, milk froth, whipped
cream and chocolate
whisked into a cup, creating
a beverage that looked as
good as it tasted.
“I think I am becoming an
official barista,” McLaughlin
said.
McLaughlin has added
not only coffee but flavored
ice tea to the Tahiti Texas
menu, and that’s enabling
McLaughlin to keep the
business open year round
for the first time. When
Tahiti Texas sold only
snow cones, McLaughlin
would shut down in the
fall because the snow cone
season is March through
September.
McLaughlin decided to
add coffee and tea products,
believing Tahiti Texas can
sell enough of those bever-
ages in the winter to offset
the slowdown in snow cone
sales.
“I am amazed we can get
this much stuff in here,”
McLaughlin said as he
showed a visitor around the
interior of the 14-foot-by-8-
foot trailer, which is home
to Tahiti Texas. The trailer’s
interior is filled with equip-
ment you’d expect to see
in a business that mixes its
own flavors and boasts 55
of them, and fills orders for
snow cones, coffee and tea.
McLaughlin has owned
the trailer for nine years and
has completed his eighth
summer in the Hasting’s
parking lot. It’s been a fam-
ily business for Pat, his wife
Vicki and their sons and
daughter.
It’s been business and ad-
venture as they have taken
a second trailer around to
festivals and other events.
Working in the business
has taught his sons and
daughter about running a
business and meeting the
public, McLaughlin said. “It’s
been a wonderful education
and training tool for their
growth and development,”
McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin's daughter,
Ashley, is a full-time Bul-
letin employee who still
sometimes helps out with
the business. She began
working at the business in
the summer of 2005 to pay

off a car. “It was a lot of fun.
It was a good experience
with my first job,” Ashley
McLaughlin said.
“My brother and I, at one
time, worked it together.
It’s been a blessing to our
family. The biggest thing
is, I think my brothers and
I have a better work ethic
because of it.”
