I built Crows to bring people together in community, good vibes and love. I’m fortunate that we’ve been serving Kansas City for over 7 years. I am proud of this place and fortunate to have grown with the beautiful neighborhoods we’re in. South Plaza, Red Bridge and Waldo, we are grateful for all of you and your support!
As you can imagine, there has not been a easy decision made over the last 18 months. They all have come with negative effects. Decisions about the health of our crew, community and the survival of Crows are always on the forefront of my mind.
As this new variant becomes more widespread and mask mandates are reactivated it’s a stark reminder that we are not out of this yet.
We have all experienced the pandemic in various ways. But the biggest lesson I have learned is that we all need to pay attention to our emotional and mental health. So I have made some choices that will help to take care of the crew here at Crows. It’s time to give some breathing room to our Baristas, Managers and Bakers who have been here since all this started.
Crows will shorten our hours for a few weeks. This will let us all take a load off for a bit. We will be announcing the schedule changes soon so please watch for that announcement.
This is a temporary but necessary change. The schedule will only affect a few days at some of the shops. We need this time to relieve the pressure for a minute so we can make quality decisions about how to move forward with consideration. Slow and steady wins the race.
I plan to give me and my staff some time to breathe while we continue to build the best coffee community in KC.
I know I speak from all of us here in the Murder when I say thank you. We appreciate all your understanding and look forward to seeing you soon!
All early closers are at 2pm.
South Plaza - 8/7, 8/8, 8/15, 8/21
Waldo - 8/7 through 8/22
Red Bridge - 8/12, 8/16 through 8/22
