“Businesses start and fail in the United States at an increasingly staggering rate. Every year, over a million people in this country start a business of some sort. ... Within 5 years, more than 80% of them—800,000—will have failed.”
- E-Myth
This sobering quote has always given us humility and a deep respect for the journey we embarked on 5 years ago when we decided to go after a dream we have had to create a space for rest, refreshment, hospitality and cultivating a thriving community. We are beyond grateful to have made it this far…. because of YOU and your support,
LIVE OAK COFFEEHOUSE JUST TURNED 5!
And… We aren’t planning on going anywhere any time soon! ;)
Last week we were able to celebrate our birthday with cupcakes and free drip coffee all day long! Rebel Mamas created a balloon arch for both Live Oak Midland and Bay City and we had pictures, conversations, smiles, and love flowing around our shops all day long!
We even had a disco ball!
“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”
We have YOU to thank for making this community everything that it is! Without your constant support, smiles, and coffee cravings we would not be where we are today.
And where is that exactly?
Live Oak Coffeehouse Midland: 5 Years Old!
Live Oak Coffeehouse Bay City: 3 Years Old!
Live Oak Roasters: 2 Years Old!
There is just so much to celebrate.
“The heart of hospitality is about creating space for someone to feel seen and heard and loved. It’s about declaring your table a safe zone, a place of warmth and nourishment.”
To continue the celebrations, we have created a new blend of coffee that we are calling “No.5,” A favorite for the light roast lovers made up of 20% Ethiopia, 20% Micro Brazil, and 60% Colombia. A portion of profits from every bag sold will be donated to the Grove Park Revitalization Fund.
This blend is a celebration of all the people, the organizations, the community that has been everything to us over these years in operation; all the staff that has put in countless hours to make this place what it is. Number 5 is a special number for us, and we cannot wait to share the joy with you!
This blend is meant to be shared at a Saturday brunch, during a birthday party, at a family gathering. Anytime you’re celebrating, this coffee is celebrating with you!
Keep an eye out in the store and online to try “No.5” for yourself!
Again, from the bottom of our hearts… Thank You.
“When you have more than you need, build a longer table not a higher fence.”
