We’re open!

We did it! Well, we did A LOT! And by "we", I mean a bunch of big-hearted, hard-working friends, neighbors and a few dedicated employees who chose to work far outside of their regularly scheduled duties. "Gratitude and appreciation" don't quite describe my feels toward these beautiful humans...I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many good people!

I hope you can join us for cake (that part’s on us), coffee, conversation, and celebration…down at The Station!

What’s Next?!

What is this magic vision, you ask? At first, I am blessed to ride the coattails of my predecessors’ vision. Yes, that’s right, I will be making nearly ZERO changes for the first few months as The Station starts chugging into existence. The Station and I will share our birthdays on Monday, November 7, 2022, serving up exactly the same menu you already love! You’ll even get to visit Brad, as he has graciously agreed to mentor me and our team as we build steam for our “grand” re-opening in March(ish) 2023.
