I realized this morning that I haven’t posted any updates about the new shop since we announced it! I have had many conversations since then with customers, but I wanted to post an update anyway. I am just going to address some of the most common questions I have been asked and maybe some that no one has asked yet.
Question: Where are you moving to?
Answer: The old Fancy Fritter building, next to the Cone Shoppe. 138 S Main is the new address.
Question: When will you be making the move?
Answer: Well…that’s a great question. Our target is the end of the June. Keep in mind, I was four months off when I set the open date for our current store. Many factors are in play for opening a new shop. And even though I wish it was as simple as picking up and moving in, there is painting, cleaning, plumbing, inspections, moving, unpacking, etc.
Question: Will you have a drive thru?
Answer: YES! As I type this on a rainy morning, I am even more excited about the drive thru window at the new shop! The new window has been received and that project will be starting soon!
Question: Will you have seating available inside?
Answer: YES! This is yet another aspect that we are excited about. As many of you know, my dad made our serving counter and the tables we had in the shop previously. He is in the process of making new tables for the new location. So not only will we have seating, but we will have more than we did previously.
Question: Will you be expanding your menu?
Answer: For the foreseeable future we will continue to offer made from scratch and freshly baked bakery items as we currently do. While we will be expanding the offerings of bakery items to include more pastries, cookies, etc as time goes on – we have no current plans to offer any other items such as sandwiches, eggs, etc. Keeping things simple has been our motto from the beginning. And as always, we will continue offer our freshly in-house roasted coffee.
Question: Will you be expanding your hours?
Answer: While we will still be closing at 11:00 am, we have decided to open an hour earlier. This will make our new hours 6:00 am to 11:00 am. Our days of operation will be Tuesday – Saturday. Yes, that’s right – we will be open Saturdays again! Please remember – the new hours and days do not take effect until we move into the new location!
Hopefully this helps set some expectations. I will be sharing updates more regularly as we progress with remodeling, etc. We are greatly encouraged by the excitement and support you have all been sharing with us. And we are beyond grateful to the Lord for his provision and grace over the past couple of years as we have worked to grow this business for the glory of his name.
