In mid March the economy began to shut down. The Local, State & Federal Government began to place restrictions on our access to resources and our lifestyles have been turned upside down.

Still Workin'!! COVID-19 Business Series Ep. 4

In mid March the economy began to shut down. The Local, State & Federal Government began to place restrictions on our access to resources and our lifestyles have been turned upside down.

Many businesses that weren’t considered “life sustaining” had to cease operations all-together or continue with significant limitations.

This series is dedicated to those business owners and service providers. We’ll let them tell their stories on how they’re continuing their work and their mission through this unique set of circumstances.

This episode I talk to Ed Simpson & Laura Vernola, owners of Steel City Coffehouse & Brewery. In the 4 years that  Ed & Laura have owned Steel City they've taken the Phoenixville favorite to new levels while keeping the roots in place.
Since the shut down they've worked to keep their momentum going by offering curbside pick-up from their menu as well as specialty made coffee, espresso, teas, juices, growlers from their in-house brew and more.
They keep their connection with their customers and the town by holding LIVE concerts on their facebook page and Zoom. They'll also be holding a virtual concert with 2 other local venus in May.
Their marketing company, Grass Roots Marketing that specializes in small business marketing services,  has been a huge benefit to them as they navigate through thr choppy waters created by COVID-19. 

Listen to their story and support their local business!
