Village Coffeehaus & Books

Background

Open September 2006. No other Coffeehouse in the area. Independent and Locally Owned and Operated. Moved an on-line bookshop into a Brick and Mortar operation. Completing with 13 bars and restaurants an while there is a lot of drive by traffic most people drive to the local gas station for coffee. Small following started to form. Working on Fair Trade. Major chains not in operation in the area because they cannot have a drive thru.
