Dear The Savvy Bean, From our family to yours, we just wanted to take a moment to send a huge wave of love and support your way!
We've spent wonderful moments inside The Savvy Bean, and our family absolutely adores your shop, your amazing team, and the warmth you bring to our town every single day. Being small business owners ourselves, we know how much heart, soul, late nights, and quiet dedication go into keeping the doors open and serving the people around us.
Our community is truly something special. Time and time again, the people here have proven that they show up for one another, and they will always stand by the local shops that make our town feel like home.❤️
We're so proud to be part of that same local business family alongside you, and as a fellow local business owner, we will always be right here in your corner-cheering you on, stopping in, and supporting you every step of the way.🤝🏽🫂
Thank you for pouring so much love into what you do and for making our community a brighter, warmer place. We're with you all the way!❤️❤️
We’re going to be a little vulnerable for a minute. 🤍
7 Brew is opening, and if we’re being honest… it scares us a little.
Not because we’re afraid of competition. Competition is part of owning a business.
But there’s a difference between competing with another local coffee shop and competing with a large corporation with the resources to give away thousands of coffees, run “pay what you want” promotions, flood social media with advertising, and spend aggressively to capture customers during their launch.
We simply don’t have that kind of money behind us.
We’re a small, locally owned business. There isn’t a corporate office sending us a giant marketing budget. There isn’t an investor covering the cost of giving away drinks. When you buy a coffee at The Savvy Bean, you’re supporting real people who live here, work here, and have spent years building this business right here in the Cedar Valley.
And we knew this was coming.
We knew the first few weeks would be hard. We knew the hype would be BIG. We knew local shops would feel the impact.
But knowing it is coming doesn’t make it any easier to watch.
We’re not asking you to avoid 7 Brew. Go try it. Get the free coffee. Check out the new place. We genuinely understand the curiosity. ❤️
But when the hype dies down, remember your local coffee shops.
Remember the businesses that don’t have millions of dollars behind them.
Remember the people who know your name.
The people who remember your order.
The people who employ your neighbors.
The people who sponsor your community events.
The people who reinvest their money locally.
The people who took a huge risk to build something of their own.
That’s us. That’s The Savvy Bean & it’s all your other small town shops in the CV.
We don’t need to be the biggest.
We just want to be here for a long, long time.
So go enjoy what’s new. ❤️
And when the lines get shorter, the freebies are gone, and the hype has settled…
Come back home to your local coffee shop. ☕️🤍
Because when you choose local, you’re helping a dream survive.
And we can’t thank you enough for every single person who chooses us.
We see you. We appreciate you. And we’re going to keep showing up. 🤍
