Thank you friends for following and praying for Sound City! We have received an offer from the bank. The offer was a little bit more than what we had originally asked for, but we responded with another offer in hopes the bank will agree with the terms that Russ has placed before them.
Russ also wondered over to Olympia Coffee Roasters today and chatted with the owner, Oliver, to discuss further plans on starting an account. I can't begin to tell you how EXCITING this is for me. By starting an account with this roaster we'll have ample training with their baristas, and these dudes know what they're doing. My baristaexchange and james hoffman knowledge is about to go hands on and I can't wait. Brew methods, dose/weight, temperature, pressure, milk, coffee, la marzocco, latte art... face to face interaction with the pros. So exciting!!
My passion for coffee that has been developing over the years makes this journey an extremely enjoyable one. It can be easy to dive into coffee and lose vision of why we began Sound City Coffee to begin with. Coffee is all about community and that is the real drive behind our shop. To meet people, to build relationships, to be in the community helping when no one else wants to, loving people who know one else wants to love, supporting people who have no support. I love coffee and I care a lot about it, but it doesn't compare to the feelings I have for this community.
Over the course of this week we are hoping to hear back from the bank about the second offer we gave them and we will be trying to sign the lease as soon as we can. Our launch date remains April 24th. The faster we sign the lease, the faster we can work on the space and the faster we can open up shop. Keep those alarms set for 1:29 and I'll be sure to keep you posted as the week goes on.
Thank you so much for your support!
