I love this time of year and this year is extra exciting as we get ready to open our new retail shop along with a new service shop and training space. We are in love with the new layout and can’t wait to show it off.

Right now we are planning on opening on Airport Blvd. shortly after Thanksgiving. We are posting teasers and updates and as we get closer we will post firm schedules, dates, etc.

It will be strange not having our retail shop on East 4th but building out the new space has given us all an excitement to start this new chapter.

As this project is winding down, we have our new production/roasting facility project well on the way. We should be moving into the new roasting building at the end of March 2023 with brand new roasters, new grinders, baggers, all the things! As the roasting industry evolves there are more machines that have energy saving features that we are excited to incorporate into Coffee Traders so once again, we look forward to showing it all off!

As all of this is happening there are changes going on for Rc as well. Rc has a discharge date of mid November and he will be coming home just in time for Thanksgiving! We definitely have a lot to be thankful for this year. Everyday he progresses in his recovery, and though it is slower than we sometimes wish, it is happening in its time and is amazing to see. Thank you everyone for all the wishes and prayers. We have needed everyone of these and we are deeply grateful.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Fall and look forward to seeing you all at our new location very soon.

Looking forward,

Beth Beall
