Legacy Coffee Company LLC hasn't added a story.
Don’t you think there is something comforting in the aroma of a freshly brewed cup of coffee? It conjures up feelings of warmth and security as it boosts you forward into your day! Sometimes, it might even be the only thing telling you “ you’ve got this!” when faced with mandatory overtime, or that crammed study session! Whether we notice or not, great things happen over a good cup of coffee! Friendships are made, dreams are created, and in the case of my wife and I, love is found! Coffee and coffee shops in particular have a wonderful romance to them! They have the ability to bridge generations, connect cultures and unite strangers together!
So, what creates this “magic”? Is it the coffee? Is it the people serving it? Is it the coffee shop itself? We think it is all of the above! We love coffee! And we love people! So we put the two together and created the plan for LEGACY COFFEE COMPANY.
We are Joshua and Kara Merrill. We are coffee people. And we want to use our love of coffee to serve a much greater cause!
Our story:
We have always wanted to own a coffee shop! Even before we knew each other, Kara and I always had a desire to have a cafe that rocked freshly roasted espresso, and had a vibe that people would love to hang out at! So, April of 2015 we decided to take our dream off the “ shelf” and give it legs. We wrote it down! It took us several hundred hours of planning, researching, reading books, watching videos and meeting with those who had been down the road of starting a business before we had what we felt like was a good plan. So, with a business plan in place, we then started developing new relationships with LOCAL providers. IT WAS AND IS A HUGE PART OF WHO WE ARE TO SUPPORT AS MUCH OF OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AS WE CAN! So when we found excellent, locally roasted coffee, an excellent local baker and a local dairy, we were thrilled! We had the makings of a GREAT coffee shop! But, we wanted to GIVE more! We realized there was a NEED in our own community that WE COULD HELP WITH!
We sought out several non profits groups who were passionately pouring out into the growing
city that we love! The ones who were clothing the homeless, feeding the hungry and restoring the lives of those suffering from substance abuse stood out loud and clear! We want to stand with them as we nurture and celebrate life together, through coffee!
WHAT IS THE MONEY FOR?
We need $30,000 for the entire project. We are contributing $5,000 of our own and asking for $25,000 for the remaining expenses.
$25,000 broken down:
