Creek Coffee | Application Preview
Creek Coffee is applying for government grants to rebuild and expand its operations following the challenges posed by COVID-19. The funding will be used to enhance the coffee shop, introduce new offerings, extend business hours, and hire additional staff. The owner, who started the business at 21 and opened in October 2019, faced numerous setbacks, including limited operating hours during the pandemic, smoke from nearby fires, and a major ice storm that led to a week-long closure. Despite these obstacles, the owner prioritized employee welfare, ensuring they received pay during tough times. In a competitive market with larger chains like Dutch Bros and Starbucks, Creek Coffee emphasizes its uniqueness as a small business committed to serving the local community.

Business Plan
Expanding my coffee shop, staying consistent, bring new things to the table, expanding my hours, hiring more employees I bought my first business at 21. I opened up October 7th, 2019 and only had 5 months to build my business until COVID-19 hit. I had to limit my hours and only work one employee a day. 6-1. I didn’t want to leave my employees without a job and I wanted to give them a paycheck throughout the chaos. I put them before myself in that situation. Summer time came around and the fires hit really close to home as we are located on Beavercreek rd in Oregon City. We had to shut down for a week. Winter comes around and the big ice storm hit, we were closed down for 6 days without power and lost all of our product in the fridge. Regardless of everything that we went through we barely stayed afloat, but I managed! First year as a business owner was stressful to say the least.
