Today, POUR turns twelve. 🤎
Twelve years ago, we opened the doors to POUR with big dreams for a little coffeehouse.
You think you know what you’re building when you start something like this. You think about the coffee, the space, the menu, whether people will come.
And then they come.
And they keep coming.
And somewhere along the way, you realize the coffee was only ever part of the story.
Because in twelve years, we’ve watched first dates turn into marriages. Babies become big kids, and big kids become adults. We’ve celebrated birthdays, graduations, and new beginnings. We’ve cheered through World Series and Super Bowl championships, weathered hard days together, and shared thousands of perfectly ordinary ones in between.
We’ve watched our employees grow up here, too. So many have spent years with us and become part of our lives and the story of POUR. Some have moved on, and some have found their way back. There’s something pretty special about a place people want to come back to.
We’ve watched families grow, people move away and seasons change. Many have our coffee shipped to wherever life has taken them. Others make POUR one of their first stops when they come home.
And all the while, POUR has been growing up, too. Changing a little with every season and every year, but somehow holding on to the things that made it feel like home in the first place.
That’s the funny thing about twelve years.
You spend all that time thinking you’re building a coffeehouse.
Then one day you look around and realize that while you were busy building it, a whole little world was growing up around you.
And maybe that was the dream all along.
A dozen years with you. What a gift it has been.
Happy birthday, POUR. ☕️🤎
