Watershed Business Profile: Wild Joe*s

Wild Joe*s is an “old school coffee house” and is a staple to downtown Bozeman. Wild Joe*s works to ensure that social and environmentally responsible practices are used to promote a healthy local & global community.  They’ve been a long-time supporter of GWC, and we are so grateful! This spring, when you bring your own cup or mug, you'll be given a wooden quarter to donate to the nonprofit of your choice. We recommend donating to GWC ;)

Here are some of the additional amazing things that they do for the watershed:

• Wild Joe*s is a participant of the City of Bozeman’s Commercial Rebate Program. They received a free site assessment from the City of Bozeman Water Conservation Division, and took action! In order to use less water, they retrofitted their dipper well, 4 hand washing faucets, and their pre-rinse spray valve. This business is on track to save 18,822 gallons of water annually!
