People have been asking us how we’re doing with the construction nextdoor. Here’s the deal.

Bottom Line…It’s killing us…It’s totally crushing us! 😣

When a business that relies on foot traffic and public parking loses both a sidewalk and cross walk, its going to hurt 🫤

Are we mad at our neighbors? Absolutely not💛 Downtown construction happens. This is how it goes.

Have they done anything wrong? Nope! 🙂‍↔️

Are the construction workers hard to deal with? No 😀 They’re very kind, doing their job, and stop in frequently for coffee and snacks☕️ 🥐

Will we be able to sustain if this continues? Nope 🤷‍♀️

Are we doing everything in our power to make up for the loss? You betcha! The Bisty Bean/coffee cart are out every day this week, double events on Saturday ☕️ ☕️ ☕️

Do we give up easily? NOOOO!!! I’m an extremely stubborn person when it comes to things that I’m passionate about 😂 💪🏽

How much longer will we be without a sidewalk? We’ve been told a few weeks.

3 weeks doesn’t sound like a long time? True, but business at the shop is only covering 70% of our expenses at this point, so that’s a lot of extra work for our little Bitsy Bean to make up 🛻 ☕️ 😴

Do we think it will really be 3 weeks? My experience with construction timeliness is like football minutes….so, we’ll see!

Do we still love what we do? More than ever!!! ♥️ ☕️ 🌟

Ok, that’s all for updates for now!

To our customers, who are continuing to come in, thank you!!!🙏 You are literally keeping our doors open 🙌 ☕️ 🫶🏽

To those who have taken a break, we totally understand. I think I’d take a break from us too at this point 😆 🤭 But seriously, we miss you, and we hope to see you when sidewalks and crosswalks open back up ♥️

We hope you’re all enjoying this wonderful, beautiful, sunny fall day! ☀️ 🍃 😊a
