Imagine our delight when, while flipping through a month-old issue of Fresh Cup magazine, we stumbled across an article about one of Springfield’s favorite local coffeehouses, The Coffee Ethic. The article, written by Springfield local/t-shirt king Shawn Matthews, offered fantastic business insights on how small coffee shops can be successful. All based upon the business model The Coffee Ethic has used to become one of Springfield’s favorite coffee destinations.
Part of that success, Shawn said, was that The Coffee Ethic prides itself on giving local artists an outlet for their creativity. And a piece of that outlet, which was featured in the article, comes from our own Mark Leicht, whose collaboration on a comic book called Hive, is on display at The Coffee Ethic, as well as other Springfield locations like The Moxie and Barnes and Noble.
So congrats to Mark, all of the artists featured in Hive, and especially our friends at The Coffee Ethic. We’re proud to see you recognized—albeit somewhat embarrassingly tardy on our part—in a national publication.
