Java Junkiez Star Idaho Kristi Flowers Hardy Flowers Travis Flowers

I am writing this as an ex-Employee that was never paid and want to warn anybody who wants to invest, partner, or work for these lying con artist. i worked at the fort lee store in richmond, va for 2 months and realized hardy travis flowers and kristy flowers are straight up frauds and are only out to get over on as many people as they can even their OWN FAMILY. Directors ,Captains ,Sargents,inspectors at fort lee were disgusted and appalled at the way they did business go to fort lee at the kenner clinic and ask around for verification. When i went to complain to the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AFES) because thats who they HAD a contract with i was notified that hardy  flowers and his wife / partner in crime kristy flowers have had several complaints from past employees that they were treated poorly not paid on time or not paid at all. HARDY TRAVIS FLOWERS and his wife/partner in crime KRISTY FLOWERS are sweet talikng catch me if you can type of business people that need to be stoped at all cost from opening another store or doing anykind of business at all without repaying the money they owe to the long line of employees they got work out of but decided not to pay. Their last store closed on september 26, 2013 in fort lee virginia. now they are trying to open a store were they now live in star, idaho..STOP THEM FROM SCAMING OTHER INNOCENT hard working tax paying citizens.

These people are scam artists!!! They dozens of pending lawsuits against them!!!!!

I have not worked for Java Junkies or Java Culture but I do know Travis and Kristi and I do not believe that they have done any of the horrible things mentioned here.  I am a neighbor and a friend and I know them to be the kind of people willing to help anyone down on their luck.  This could be their only fault.  It would appear to me that the people making these false accusations are the real con artists.  I think they used the compassionate nature of Travis and Kristy Flowers until there was nothing left to use and as they lost their jobs they became bitter and resentful. Just remember karma has a way of turning around and biting you back.  I wish Travis and Kristi the best of luck in getting this resolved and the people who have hurt their good name to be punished.

I was an employee at their Maxwell store in montgomery AL, for quite a while. All the accusations that this person is throwing out there are completely false!!! Not once did Hardy and Kristy Flowers rip anybody off. Not once did i get ripped off on my pay check. These two people are some of the most caring, loving and thoughtful people out there!! If people were fired from a store, than it had to be from their negative actions as an employee. I have seen these two give employees multiple chances before they fire anybody. They dont live by there stores so as employees, we are trusted to run the business day to day without them.

Sales would be up in a store if an employee were doing the right things. If a reputation is ruined at a store, it is more likely due to the fact that the employees suck than it was Hardy and Kristys fault. I cant say enough how this report is completely wrong. And portrays them in a completely horrible way. I feel sorry for the people who have to come on here and write lies because they were a horrible employee and are just trying to get back at Hardy and Kristy, it shows the type of person that employee must have been to talk about people in a false way like that.

All, If you have take time to read these post; this is an example of how sad people are today and what this world is coming too, and the great lengths that one will go to destroy another. It has been confirmed that these post have been created by someone that "once" was dear to the companies members. This comes after this person was terminated for acts that go beyond the normal day to day issues that take place in food and beverage operations and employee issues.  As a company we hate to release these type of statements but we do not want this to interfere with current or future opportunities. The company has maintained a high level of service and continues to strive to employ the most trust worthy employees, that have customer satisfaction as a top priority. To claim that the memebers move around and would try relinquish false locations shows their intent.

The fact that the individual would go to these great lengths to write false statements, we believe this is not a reflections of our company and what we strive to create in our locations. We are not a fly by night company! AS a small business in this country the members and employees work hard day in and out to be successful. The locations under the name brand is not ran directly by its members, some are owner operator locations and the company does not have any oversight at these locations.

We also want to be clear. Our brand often times work under contracts which vary in length.  At times for many reason like some of the highest producing food and beverage franchise we have to close down locations. None which consist of making an investment and close down for "no reason" as this person has suggested in several of these false posts. This is not a traditional business approach and if any can find a reason to do this without any valid reason after making and investment to build a location, we would be interested in learning why and the benefits of doing such a thing. Like many businesses our success is often based on traffic counts, when placed in unfavorable locations we are left with no choice to close at times. Just because a business closes down doesnt mean they did something wrong, it just means they closed down as the can't afford to bare the expense of a net loss. In the event that a locations is closed measures are taken to ensure the most practical and business like manner to ensure that the locations that we service, our customers, and employees are given sufficient notice.

As a company we don’t owe anyone an excuse but we will not allow a person to make these type of false statements without a rebuttal.

The bible says it clearly..touch not my annointed! I do not understand why anyone would go to such lengths and spread such horrible lies....and then to include children. This has gone way to far! For those of you that know us, you know our character and how we are and I should not have to sit online look at which  lie was spread today or why this is happening. When you start speaking about my children..I have a huge problem. I want the "people" who are writing this to know that there are legal ramifications for falsly slandering and grotesqly spreading lies and untrue statements about myself, my husband or our family. Not being a vindictive person, I have trouble understanding why anyone would go to any length to try to hurt innocent people. I have heard people say.."That what happens in business," but I got into business to help people, not to have this kind of thing happen because someone wants to see my demise. I understand in l ife that innocent people get persecuted, but to really do it in this manner? As for my children, they are a blessing and they are highly intelligent and always at the top of their classes. Anyone who really knows us will tell you how articulate they are...and guess what...they are always in school. You have gone over the edge when you start attacking a child,  that is going way to far. I think the reality is that anyone reading these posts can now see how ridiculous they are because when you stoop so low to talk about someones child, your credibility becomes unworthy.  You see we don't have to run anywhere, we can hold our heads up high and we can sleep peaceful because we know with 100 percent certainty that we have never done any of the things that have been written and the only thing we have done wrong, is be too nice and give people chance after chance even though they are stealing from us or planning for our demise. We have gone above and beyond for each of our employees and if telling the truth, they all know that.

I am truly saddened that the ripoff report is actually a Rip off...and that people can come on here and write such horrible lies. To you and you know who you are, we don't have to defend ourselves. We don't  have lawsuits all over the place, we don't move from place to place and open stores and close them down. We don't short anyones paychecks....(they are done by a payroll company) We don't handle cash from our stores, as we are not the employees there, we haven't stole or done anything unlawful, we haven't taken anyones money and ran.....etc...TRUELY THIS IS ALL DISGRACEFUL AND SICKENING!

This may stay online for a while and more lies may continue to be spread, but I guarantee that God will protect myself and my family from those who are trying to committ evil.

I never thought I would have to defend myself or family, but to the authors of these posts...May God bless you and forgive you for your despicable lies.
