CASEVILLE — When Evelyn and Ken Peterson opened up Brew Moon Coffee House and Gallery in Caseville, they had no idea that a decade later they would have created one of the town’s favorite summer businesses.

When they made the decision to retire in 2019, the hunt began for someone to take over their popular business. Evelyn and Ken were openminded to how this transition would happen, they just needed to find the right people for the job.

Michael and Cristina Klaiber were those people. The couple, originally from downstate, had no experience running a coffee shop, but knew this business endeavor was meant for them. With their two daughters helping out, they began their first summer season as the new owners of Brew Moon.

After vacationing in Caseville for almost 10 years, Cristina, a labor and delivery nurse, and Michael, a real estate broker, watched the Brew Moon grow with every summer season. The couple now lives in the area full time in order to own and run Michael and Cristina Klaiber are the proud new owners of Brew Moon Coffee House and Gallery in Caseville. (Paige Withey/Huron Daily Tribune) their new business.

“We knew going into this how popular Brew Moon is, everyone has been extremely welcoming and supportive,” Michael said. “It’s a pleasure to be carrying on the legacy that Evelyn and Ken started here.”

“Evelyn and Ken will continue to operate the gallery side of the business this year, while we get our bearings with the coffee shop,” Christina added. “The plan would be to take over the full gallery next year.”

As for the Petersons’, Evelyn and Ken plan on renting out the garage space from the Klaibers’ where they will open a small business called Serendipity Finds. This new store will be “a mix of the unusual and whatnots, on-trend vintage home furnishings, and incidental antiques.” According to Ken and Evelyn, this new project is something that has been in the works for several years.

“We gave the Brew Moon our heart and soul for 10 years,” Ken said. “It has been a wonderful journey with no regrets.”

“We are looking forward to staying involved by running the gallery this season to assist with that transition next year,” he added.

While their first summer might not have started in the ideal way, due to the pandemic, Cristina and Michael are rolling with it. They implemented curbside ordering and pickup and wear masks to keep themselves and their customers safe.

Caseville and the surrounding community welcomes Cristina and Michael and looks forward to what the future holds for everyone involved.
