After I left running The Bean'ry in Athens, I moved to NC where my wife lived. I eventually took a job with Krispy Kreme Coffee as an Assistant Roastmaster, and learned about coffee from that side. After being laid off there, I moved to Charlotte, in Caribou's management training program to become a manager with them. (As much as I didn't want to really, it was just all there was around here.) After waiting there, I got tired of waiting and knew I deserved much more because of my experience, so I sent out some resumes, and here I am at my job now. It's great because I get to use all the things I have learned over the years at one time. A full 360 degree view of what it takes to be successful. Glad you have had fun! Can't wait to hear the stories!
Hey Peg, thanks for reaching out.
I'll be driving up there soon to check your place out!
It seems we have some similar background- I'm a ABCs grad, as well.
I love the Black Cat! Intelli knows 'spo!
That should probably work out fine. What time will you be in Philly? I live at 9th and Catharine right next to the italian market. if your interested in going to a shop around here give me a call. My number is 302 545-5248.
I got nothing to do tomorrow. I was thinking of throwing my bike in my car and driving up to visit your shop. Maybe get some time in on your machine, hang out, and make a day of it. Let me know if your up for it.
Happy New Year Peg...
Congratulations on getting your shop up and running too. Intelli is a great choice too as is training with Bruce and Matt and Jared-I'm sure you will blow the doors off what everyone else is doing there and set new stansards for quality in PA.
