    Nice to have you on here. I grew up in Georgia, lived in Brunswick for a while. Take care, and let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Don't forget to join the Southeast Coffee Family group on here!

    Paul, I noticed you're working on a plan to open a coffeehouse this this fall in your downtown area. Being that we're both in the south, it might be helpful for us to converse and follow along with each others progress. We might be able to help each other with region specific advice.

    Good eye! That is a brushed aluminum flaming cup that is mounted to the front of our bar at one of our Alpharetta locations. Unfortunately, it's quite a drive from Waynesboro, but if you're ever in the area...
