We meet the most interesting people!
We really do get some interesting people coming into the store.
A few weeks ago we had a location scout in town from Calgary who took some shots of the cafe. They need a coffee shop in an upcoming movie and someone directed them our way. Very cool. We'll let you know when Brangelina show up with their brood to shoot a blockbuster in our store!
Today we had a visit from a business professor at Okanagan College in Penticton. He's taking a sabbatical from work and travelling across the country checking out small, independently run restaurants and cafes. He picked my brain for an hour or so about anything and everything, from where we get our menu ideas to the best and worst parts of owning a business and on to the nitty gritty of bookkeeping and profit and loss statements. He was an interesting guy and we look forward to reading his compendium after it's all said and done. He's heading cross country winding up in London, Ontario, doing his best to avoid the affliction of the country's most ubiquitous coffee chains, which shall go unnamed here.
I'm always after Steve to find out where people are from. He really couldn't care less, but the people we see are from far and wide. Yesterday we had a retired couple who spend a couple months of the year in Peterborough, Ontario, a couple more months out west here, then the winter in Barbados! How cool is that? We need someone like that to inspire us towards our dream of Freedom 45. ;)
