'SO YOU WANT TO OPEN A COFFEE SHOP?"
As part of our Summer long OSO Coffee education series, we're adding a more intense conference style workshop for those of you with an interest in starting YOUR OWN COFFEE CART OR COFFEE SHOP BUSINESS. On a regular basis we talk with customers who have an interest in stepping into the coffee industry, and this workshop is designed to answer all of your industry questions and "count the costs" of such an endeavor.
​
This workshop will provide an enormous amount of industry information that will better equip you as you ponder with this desire to open a coffee cart or open a brick and mortar. In addition, we can offer more personal consultation if you do decide to take the next step. ​​
