We are forever grateful for your kind words and continued support as we navigate this challenging time ♥️🥹. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. And we look forward to sipping a tasty coffee from an old grind branded cup soon!!!
You may have noticed these lately. Plain old random cups, not fancy, no brand. But they have a story to tell.
Back in 2016, when we purchased The Old Grind, we were approached by Les at Rocky Mountain Roasters and quickly switched our coffees to their yummy beans. At the start, we wanted to support local as much as we could. This was one of the best decisions we have ever made!
We also worked with Les to create our branded drink ware and soup bowls. They supplied and stored all of our wares on site in Jasper, and allowed us to pull a case or two at a time as needed. This allowed an affordable option for a new business that we likely couldn’t have accomplished on our own.
The wildfire in Jasper took many businesses, including theirs. But in all of the chaos, they never missed a beat, and managed to continue to get us supplies and beans right from the day after the evacuation. We were able to continue to provide coffees for our customers, old and new, and supplied the unified command centre and firefighters with a lot of coffee from a local business.
We are so grateful and really proud to tell the tale, and want to send them a huge shout out ♥️
Rocky Mountain Roasters have not only been our suppliers, but more importantly, partners in our success from day one. Not only have they provided us with great coffees, but also equipment, parts, support, maintenance and repairs on our equipment (including many FaceTime calls after hours between Carl and Travis over the years when our espresso machine went down).
So many thanks to Travis, Les, Lee, Michelle and all. You rock!
We may not have fancy cups, but we have you. And the best coffee in town!
