Mother, daughter team new owners of Boardman Jumpstart Java Boardman Jumpstart Java recently became a real family affair. Cherie Guenther used to work at Sasha’s Jumpstart Java and really enjoyed her work. She told Sasha Harrison if she was ever interested in selling the business, to give her a call. “Right out of the blue, Sasha called, and here we are,” says Cherie. The new owners are Heather Baumgartner and Cherie Guenther, who are a mother-daughter team. Although they both work at other full time employment, they are hugely involved in their new endeavor. “Cherie and I went straight to Jill Pambrun Parker at Bank of Eastern Oregon, who is our loan officer, and in a couple of days, we owned the business,” laughs Heather. Guenther works as a personal business banker at Community Bank in Hermiston and studied at Eastern Oregon University and Blue Mt. Community College, majoring in business. Baumgartner works at Walmart in Hermiston as Assistant Manager. She previously worked at several Walmart Distribution Centers around the country for 13 1/2 years in logistics and transportation. Baumgartner has an associate degree in business management from University of Phoenix. Her husband, Tom Baumgartner is the maintenance man for the coffee shop while working fulltime at the Port of Morrow. Another daughter of Baumgartner’s is Audrey, age 17 who is a junior at Ione, and she also will be working each Friday at Jumpstart Java. The ladies plan to keep the same drink menu and prices, and will honor any Sasha Jumpstart Java punch cards that customers have.
