Admit it, you drink way too much coffee everyday. Perhaps you are going to have a resolution in the new year to drink a cup or two less each day? Good luck with that! It can be a struggle to give up a good cup of coffee. Especially if you are a person who has to wake up early or work late.

There are so many great local businesses in the Western New York area. The foundation of the local economy are the local "mom and pop" style businesses. After the pandemic began, it became harder and harder for these businesses to stay afloat and one of them has announced it will be closing soon.

In a Facebook post in late November, the owners of Break'N Ground Coffee announced that they will be shutting down as of Christmas Eve.

The good news is that the coffee will still be available online.

Running and maintaining a small business is not for the weak at heart, but just know we put our hearts into this. Break’n Ground Coffee will still be available online for the foreseeable future.

The new year is almost here and perhaps in 2023 you can visit more local shops? My wife and I like to take our kids on those cliche Sunday drives and often we stop at small shops and restaurants and help them out. As exciting as it can be to see the larger chains like Sonic and Chick-fil-A come to town, the real benefit to the economy is helping those who started right here at home.
