⚠️☕️⚠️TUESDAY JULY 14 is the LAST DAY THE COFFEE SHOP WILL BE OPEN!!!!
💔☕️Once I know what the next move is, I'll update this page. It's hard to close something that you poured everything you had into & even Harder when it's just getting known more around town. Our accountant talked to me, and encouraged us to keep on going bc the business is Growing quicker than expected, just not as fast as we needed. Any other time, I would've "figured" it out, but this time, I can feel it's impossible to catch up.
We won't be Able to afford to Renew our food license from the county to keep operating, so this why the very short Notice.
🖤☕️I'm going to look into the Home Food Cottage law to see about still being able to sell Yawéku Coffee by the Pound.🤞🏾🤞🏾
🖤🖤🖤This was an extremely difficult decision to make, so please refrain from any & All Unsolicited** advice at this time as well🥰
🖤🤍I know there's a million things I could've done better, The thing is, We didn't take out a business loan for this Adventure. We had to get our home loan before a business loan!! So I'm Very Happy with what we Accomplished with what little cash on hand we actually had.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Thank youuu to all the Coffee Friends that gave Yawéku Coffee a shot☕️... I met some of the greatest Coffee friends, and was able to get to know more people in the Howard area!
Special Thank Yous to all our Friends, Families, and Our Parents, but Espressoly*** both our Mothers!!! Louise Cornelius AND Kanatihal Hill None of this was Possible without their full love and support for our coffee dreams!
Hopefully next time we see each other, I'm in my truck at Community events and businesses!
