I know it sounds crazy but i owned a coffee shop in a Kaiser Permanente Building for 10 years and recently sold it and would like to send everyone a thank you letter for being a long term customer and don't know how to get the master list for all there e-mails. Do big companys make those available? Long shot but just thought i would ask...

If you are speaking of customer email addresses, I doubt you will be able to get this information without speaking to the owners of the company personally and explaining you purpose. Companies no longer like to give personal information out about customers and their employees generally will not just hand that information over.
The only other way I know of getting that type of information would be to hack into their system and considering that is illegal, and the danger is not worth it, I would highly advise against that.
Contact the company, explain yourself and work your way up the ladder. If you are sincere and show it, I am sure they will be willing to assist you. Besides, it may allow them to get their foot in the door with those customers by allowing the previous owner to contact them and put in a good word for the new company. (At least that is a pitch I would throw at the new company in exchange for the information.) ; -p

No, we don't make that information available. Ever. The SPAM problem is bad enough as it is; publishing a directory of e-mail addresses would compound that severely.
I'm a systems engineer with a Fortune 300 company. We have about 8,000 e-mail users and reject over 1,000,000 SPAM e-mails every month. Less than 10% of the mail that hits our gateway is legitimate e-mail. If our e-mail directory was publicly accessible, it would likely crash our e-mail system. No thanks!
Just send a nice letter (NOT an e-mail) to the current owners and ask them to display it for you.
FYI, 99% of KP's e-mail users have never set foot in that building or even know of your coffee shop. They would not be amused with another piece of junk mail, well intentioned as it may be.
