Support your local business!! We can’t have a business without community support. We love giving back, trying to help support your kids school fundraisers, all the charity asks, money donations, basket donations, and so on. We only ask you to support us buy purchasing things from us so we can give back.
It's spooky season... but not for the reason you think.
Being a small, tiny, indie coffee shop owner has always been a big-little dream. I've pursued many of other side quests, but always came back to serving coffee. Now, I get to do it... alone.
Hear me out. I'm not ALONE, alone. But I don't have a mother corporate making up all my promos, running social media, ordering in mega bulk so that I get a steep discount. I have to scour the web and the town looking for the best deal I can find to keep prices low so that everyone has equal opportunity to great coffee.
When you start to be surrounded, suffocated- even, by the big guys creepin' in, anxiety takes over where confidence once was.
We can't compete with late hours, steep coffee discount times, and free beverages to everyone and their dog. And it's so easy to spiral down a comparison trap and become paralyzed with doubt. It can make a person sick- to think of all the ways this could really end for us.
In the loud roar of insecurity, the people you thought would cheer the loudest- go quiet. They quit. They snicker a little.
Yet, whilst the leader falls apart, the staff shows up. They cheer, they clean, they smile, they stir, they brew.
And even though you had other free options this morning, the line showed up, and you waited, and you encouraged, and we laughed. You messaged, you called, you checked in.
Because being a small, tiny, local, indie business owner, you AREN'T on your own. Not really.
We aren't best of Marahfield because we have the best sales, hours, speed, and even sometimes our drinks fall short.
We're the best of Marshfield because we serve the best people who live here. We're going to be ok, no matter how many shops keep popping up all over.
I'm not a fearless leader, but I am a supported one, I'm a determined one, and I'm stubborn.
Sometimes, I just gotta over react and drink a Dr. Pepper about it first.
Thanks for reminding us every day, but esspecially today, why we do what we do.
For you.
