Let’s Restart America from the “Ground Up”

Coffee Mug 1.jpeg

America, let’s restart our economy from the ground up.

That means creating needed jobs, starting new businesses, and restarting closed businesses -- in every community. There’s no better place to start than with the coffee shops and coffee roasters that fuel creative conversations -- with coffee that is “ground up” -- in neighborhoods throughout the nation.

Coffee is the fuel on which America’s entrepreneurship runs. And entrepreneurs are the key to job growth. Coffee symbolizes a warm welcome. It sparks new ideas. It opens the door to collaboration.  It energizes innovation at all hours, day and night. 

At Right to Start, we champion entrepreneurship as a community priority.  Therefore, we’re celebrating local coffee shops and roasters that inspire American creativity -- from the “Ground Up.” We’d like your help in recognizing those that have inspired you. Tell us your favorite cafe or roaster, and why it’s been important to you. We’ll highlight it on a national list we’re compiling, and we may even feature your story in an upcoming Right to Start newsletter.
