While you may be familiar with the Golden Cup Coffee Company, it is likely that you are unaware of its upcoming accomplishments. As the coffee company has grown, so have its needs. Running a café and roastery has been a blessing for owners Larry Stitts and Jackie Stover-Stitts.
At the same time, the couple needed a building that could meet the growing demands. Fortunately, thanks to funding from Preservation Buffalo Niagara (in partnership with the East Side Avenues Initiative), Larry and Jackie were able to purchase an anchor building at 1362 Jefferson Avenue that they expect will soon be a hangout (and flag) for the community.
After 12 years in business, Golden Cup Coffee Company is making another significant community investment. The restoration of the roughly 1941 building that was originally a grocery store will enable Larry and Jackie to meet many of their strategic growth goals.
In the East Side Avenues video (see above), Jackie explains that for the first time there is a real sense of the East Side tide finally starting to turn. This is a popular opinion in much of the videos we’ve seen as financial opportunities are provided to worthy entrepreneurs who have patiently waited for their time. It looks like many of the hopes and dreams are coming true thanks to a collective effort that will bear great fruit for a city seeing the light for the first time in decades. That light will lead to golden opportunities as we are now experiencing.
