I am so glad things are working out for you. I thought this thread might quietly disappear. The small percentage of new businesses that make past a year is shocking. So happy for you.

Thanks, everyone. I can't believe it's been four years. I've been really lucky. Our customers really are the best. They've given my coffee shop just about the best reviews in the metroplex on Google+ and Yelp. It's been a thrill, and it's been a lot of hard work.

I'm not disappearing quietly, I assure you.

Thanks for everything.

Love an upbeat story!

Brian come back.

I follow on fb and it looked like Brian opened a second location but had to close one of the two he had going.

What a rollercoaster ride that post was, Tony!

An immediate high...until you pulled the plug.

I'd love to get a status update on Brian's journey. I think about this thread ALL the time!

Another two years have gone by and it appears that Brian may not be in business at this time.
He had two stores for a minute but had to close one and now it appears the other is closed too.
The small shopping center he was in is closed due to covid virus and his shop isn’t listed on thier store listing.
His FB page hasn’t been updated in a long time.

I've been thinking of this thread, too, Tony.

So many small businesses are in a bind. I hate to think that they are just going to cease to exist.

I got to this thread just now. Very sad if Brian lost his business due to this pandemic. A lot of mom & pop shops won’t be able to come out the other side, and it’s a depressing thought. There’s a terrific restaurant/bar near me- the
owner would give me free samples of Bourbon and other stuff to try, and he is a nice guy. He wasn’t doing all that well even before these
restrictions- I’d be surprised if he reopens.
