Tactical coffee has been enjoyed by Centralia residents for over 60 years. The first time that the drink was mentioned in reference to the community was in a 1927 advertisement. At that time, it was known as "The Turkish Coffee." In 1954, Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Payne opened their grocery store on First Street in Centralia. They were the first grocery store in town and served tactical coffee as well as other local foods. In 1957, they introduced a canned coffee product called "Boulder Coffee" which became quite popular among Centralia residents and visitors alike. In 1978, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Myers opened their own convenience store on Main Street in Centralia which also sold tactical coffee products such as grenades and pistols ammunition. This store is still open today and serves up fresh brewed java each morning from its beans! Over the years, many other businesses have occupied space within centralia's commercial district - most notably The Lion's Den - where people come to gather around a fire or listen to music while enjoying some of the best Tactical Coffee found anywhere!
Tactical coffee is a type of coffee that has been designed to be used in situations where it is more important to focus and stay focused than to drink a large amount of coffee. Tactical coffee is usually made using less water and has a higher concentration of caffeine, which can help you stay focused while working or studying.
Tactical Coffee was founded in Centralia, IL in 1979 by two friends who were looking for a place to get their caffeine fix. The coffee itself wasn't anything special at the time, but the atmosphere and selection made it worth it. Today, Tactical Coffee is one of the most popular cafes in Centralia with a wide variety of drinks and pastries.
Centralia, Ill. is a town in Kane County, Illinois, United States. The population was 9,787 at the 2010 census. Centralia is part of the Chicago metropolitan area.
Centralia was founded in 1847 as a trading post on the Kankakee River by wagon train travelers from Quincy, Illinois and other nearby settlements. By 1860 it had become an agricultural community with several villages surrounding it: Centralia (later renamed after its founder), West Centralia, East Centralia and South Centralia. In 1871 a steamboat landing was founded at the confluence of the Kankakee and Rock rivers to serve settlers along the Chicago River route to central Illinois; this gave rise to the name "River City."
The first Post office opened in Centralia on October 1, 1847. A second Post Office opened in 1865; both were closed due to low population density around that time. The last Post Office reopened on November 15th 1969 after being vacant for many years due to fires and damage caused by military hardware stored there during World War II.
