Mighty Good Coffee

How did I get here? Well, I started Mighty Good as a part-time business back in 2006, a transition point in my work history and career, and started that as a home delivery business and kept working at it and working at it. And now here I am almost ten years later with three coffee shops, and it's a really incredible and exciting journey. How did you go from coffee roasting to owning a cafe?

And at a certain point we realized that we needed more space to be successful as a coffee shop. And the space on North Main was available. And we could put our roasting facility inside that space.

So I think when I started out in coffee, my intent was not to have coffee shops, but to work in the wholesale side and direct the cons And it's really been a positive outcome that we're involved in coffee and reaching cons It's a lot of fun. So you've gone from coffee roasting business to three cafes now. What's next? I think what's next is we're going to sit on our hands in that fidget and really delve into these three locations and try to grow them and tell our story and do what we do best, which is roast coffee and serve great coffee and engage with our customers. I wouldn't say that we're done, but I would say that we need to kind of sit tight and work these to the best of our abilities so that we can continue to do what we do best and not overreach our capacity in terms of h
