Raise enough funds to open a coffee shop and serve the people of Manchester quality coffee!

Hey, I’m Nat and I’ve been working in the coffee industry for almost 10 years. In that time, I have worked my way up the industry ladder from barista to wholesale manager.
During this process of development and growth, my love and passion for coffee and people never left. At the end of last year, I decided it was time to leave my full-time job and to go out on my own. The idea of opening a shop of my own has always been a dream and one I thought would only happen in a few years time, however, the opportunity has come around a lot sooner than originally planned and one to not miss, say yes to and give it a go!
So here we are, we have a space ready to go located right in the heart of the city on St Peter’s Square opposite the tram stop, a name - Atrium Coffee, and a logo, but we need some help. This is where you guys come in, we really need some help towards the start-up costs to get this project up and off the ground where we can continue this journey of serving great coffee to the folk of Manchester, building lasting relationships and growing community. I also would like to offer job opportunities and help people on their own career journey.
Alongside running a coffee shop, I want to create a space where we can offer a range of coffee training courses to those who want to develop and grow their own skills of making delicious coffee.
Any donations received will go directly towards the start up costs for Atrium Coffee, including:
- Coffee machinery (espresso machine, grinder etc)
- Stock costs ie. cups, lids, beans, milk….(the list could go on for a while but you get the jist!)
- iPad/card machine for payments
- App set up costs (to enable people to order on the go or from their office)
- Promotion ie. website, graphic design, business cards
I am really excited to see where this next part of my coffee adventure takes me, and am so grateful for the support, guidance and encouragement that I have had to get me this far. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and to hear my vision, I’m truly grateful for any money you pledge towards helping make this project happen!
Community is important and key to helping make things a success, and I would love to take you into this adventure with me!
Big love,
Nat
