If you read our last blog post, thanks for coming back!
One of our biggest accomplishments last year was receiving the 2020 Small Business of the Year Award from the Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. We were extremely excited to receive the phone call that we had been nominated and honored to receive this award! Everyone at Lincoln Road is proud to support the Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and be in a network with so many other great businesses and entrepreneurs. The staff at the chamber have been big supporters of ours since day one and we are very thankful that we have them in our community. If you are a business owner reading this and not connected in the business community, contact your local Chamber of Commerce!
Our team has worked extremely hard this year to elevate coffee culture in our region and provide access to ethically sourced freshly roasted coffee. Coffee has been a big part of my life ever since I was a child sitting on my Mamaws porch sipping coffee and telling stories, with a lot of cream and sugar then I might add haha I didn’t know what I was doing back then. As I’ve gotten older, I have been intrigued by the process of coffee and the culture around it. The way its grown, harvested, and traded to the way its roasted and brewed. Coffee tells a story. There are so many steps before the coffee gets in to your cup. Before we receive the green beans to roast, it changes hands several times. This industry produces one of the most popular drinks in the entire world and most consumers don’t understand the complexity it possesses. We hope that we can be at the forefront in central Appalachia on educating consumers on where their coffee comes from and why it matters to buy from your local roaster that has good ethically sourced coffee.
This award is just the beginning for Lincoln Road! We’re excited about expanding in 2021 and getting into our new location. Appreciate your support and don’t forget to drink good coffee and do good things
