Can I Have a Coffee Shop and a Pampered Chef Business?

In summary, Anne is considering quiting her job as a consultant to open her own coffee shop. She has a lot of work and long hours, but she is willing to do it if it is her dream.

Go for it!That's the one thing PC lets you do - realize your dreams. PC would fit very nicely. Serve all your foods on SA dishes and cups. The Cups and More are perfect for lattes and cafe au lait. Keep your milk and cream etc. in the carafe. Keep your catalogues out as well! Once people clue in that the dishes they're eating off of (and the recipes they're eating) are PC, they'll certainly be inclined to either a) do a show or b) get into the business! Limit your shows to 2 a week, make them on certain days of the week, say only on Tuesdays and Fridays for example. That way, you're not running all over the place, but you can plan! You can even host "mega shows" at your shop!

Good luck with it!:balloon:

Just wanted to say that I stopped in to see Anne's new coffee shop this morning, and it was fabulous! Very cute, nicely decorated... very comfy in there, big chairs and tables.... just what you'd expect. It looks great! I had some tea and it was really really good! My son had a bagel (okay, we shared) and it was yummmmy! Everyone was very nice there.

Congrats, Anne, on doing such a nice job! I'm sure you will be super successful, and I with you the very best of luck in everything!

=) Jen

Thanks for sharing with us Jen! I think Anne must be too exhausted from all the customers to give us an update....;)

Ooooo... I'm soooo jealous that you are close enough to go! I could really go for a nice cup of tea and a bagel right now!

It's a good thing he finally found a job. Last I heard, he couldn't get out of construction because all he could was rivet. . . rivet . . . rivet.

What the picture doesn't say is that coffee frog recommends the biscotti, because those aren't raisins - they're flies! :D
 
  • #274
Probably more protein that raisins!

Hey Anne Congrats on your GO, do you have pics of the finished product yet and on grandopening day? I just logged onto your website but maybe I missed them? Take care and Lots O luck!
 
  • #278
Hi Anne,

Been thinking about you! I'm glad it's picking up and that you already have your regulars. Wish I lived closer so I could stop in!

Take Care and remember to still take some time for yourself!

Thanks for posting the photo site. . .I knew I had looked at pictures before and could not find them.

Congratulations on your opening. I hope that you are really enjoying your business. BTW, great job with the unsatisfied customer (on your blog). You must have really taken time with him.

Wishing you much success!

Me, too! I was considering making a road trip to surprise Anne at the grand opening, but had shows and things in the way on my calendar.

If I ever get east again, if I'm within 250 miles, you know I'll show up there one morning.
