Business Briefcase
BY KATHERINE CAMBERG West Valley View Staff Writer
IN THE BIZ
Before the coronavirus pandemic hit, coffee shops were an essential part of many lives. Like restaurants, coffee shops were required by a Gov. Doug Ducey order to only provide to-go or delivery drinks and food from mid-March through May 10. Patrons were permitted to enjoy food and drinks in restaurants and coffee shops May 11, though with guidelines. Yet West Valley residents have continued to frequent their favorite cafes— with one saying business is actually better than pre-pandemic. Other local coffee shops, such as Driftwood Coffee Co. in Peoria, saw a decline in business. This can be especially difficult for shops that attract customers because of their unique “vibe” and aesthetic. A Driftwood representative said sales picked up as soon as dining in was permitted. Some local shops said customers showed their passion about supporting local businesses. Cabin Coffee Café in Glendale saw customers returning a few weeks into the pandemic. Manager Janice Openshaw said, “Our customers tell us they want to see us open when everything is back to normal.” Cafes that were better adapted to drive-thru and takeout orders have fared better during the pandemic. Café Bebida, located inside Casa Lucero in Goodyear, noted that after customers were aware they could safely place orPublic Notices ............... page 2 © Copyright, 2020 West Valley View, Inc.

ders, business rebounded. “We were very fortunate to have a large, beautiful walk-up window for takeout that looks out on the Sonoran Desert,” said Deborah Huyer, Café Bebida’s manager. “Although business slowed for a couple of weeks after restaurants were closed (for dining in) by executive order, we picked back up and actually did as much or more than we did before the COVID-19 closure.” Many cafes reported fewer customers in the first few weeks of the pandemic. As customers were assured that takeout orders could be completed safely, business returned. Many noticed that patrons wanted to support these businesses through tough times. Some saw increases in the purchase of coffee beans and cold brews that customers could enjoy at home. (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Larger chains are adapting to local guidelines. “Connection and community are fundamental to humanity. As we gradually come out of isolation, people will continue to crave connection and crave a sense of community,” Starbucks president and CEO Kevin Johnson said in a May 21 letter to stores. “Over the last week, we have now regained about 60-65% of prior year comparable U.S. store sales while reopening under modified operations and with reduced hours. “So that is our job now: to build a bridge to a future that—yes—will look different but that stays true to Starbucks’ mission and values,” Johnson wrote. “We will build it together, and it will carry us all to a better tomorrow for Starbucks and the communities we serve.” Subscriptions are $26 for 2 years, $14 for one year.

Pause for a deep breath from nonstop juggling BY JOHN SAFIN
Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce President and CEO
Have you ever had that feeling life tossed every obstacle at you all at once to see what would happen? You’re like a juggler keeping bowling balls in the air when, without warning, life adds an egg, an orange and kitten to your routine. That was an analogy. Please don’t juggle kittens or any animals. Also, remember bowling balls are the natural enemy to eggs. The point is: You managed to keep everything moving. I remember a lesson from years ago from a maintenance tech named Mack: “God knows the age of every tree and the color of every flower. And, He knows just how wide your shoulders are. And He’ll never give you anything to carry that’s bigger than you can handle.” That always comes to mind when life becomes rambunctious with its unexpected challenges. Now, if you’ve been in an overwhelming situation, think about your first breath after getting through it all. It’s a deep breath of relief. It literally feels like you’ve shrugged off a leadlined winter coat weighing down your body but not your spirit. Your inner self is how you became free. Are you ready to take a breath? It wasn’t the year you had planned or ex-

pected, that’s for sure. We have endured a lot; some more than others. That deep breath might be to get through the next steps. This is where the power of community can make a difference. There will be people who could use some help getting rid of the weight. Maybe they need kind and supportive words, an ear to bend, hand to hold, shoulder to lean on, or something more tangible.
