Small Business Spotlight: Celebrating Local Entrepreneurship

Small Business Spotlight: Celebrating Local Entrepreneurship

Small businesses form the vital foundation of the American economy, playing a pivotal role in the financial and cultural enrichment of communities nationwide. Remarkably, they account for approximately 44% of the U.S. economic output, a testament to the profound impact of community support on their success. In Cherokee County, this support transcends expectations, creating an environment where businesses not only thrive but flourish together in unparalleled harmony.

This unique spirit of mutual upliftment and collaboration distinguishes our community, going beyond mere customer engagement. Here, businesses eagerly extend a helping hand to one another, fostering an atmosphere of encouragement and solidarity. As a proud member of this vibrant small business ecosystem, we understand the significance of inter-business support.

We are honored to collaborate with other local small businesses that share our commitment to community and mutual growth. Here are just a few we are privileged to partner with in the area:

 Paula's Zzerts

Paula’s Zzerts

We are proud to source our pastries and muffins from Paula’s Zzerts and Bananas and Beehives. All of the delicious muffins that you grab from the café are from Paula’s Zzerts (my favorite is the Cranberry White Chocolate Muffin). Coincidentally, we were introduced to Paula’s Zzerts through a party we hosted at their shop back in 2023 in celebration of our “Best Coffee Shop in Canton” award. The theme of the party was Western Murder Mystery, so if you’re ever looking for a place to host a fun themed party, they’ve got you covered (plus the food is insanely delicious)!

 Bananas and Beehives

Bananas and Beehives

Our second source of pastries comes from the iconic Bananas and Beehives. If you’ve lived in Cherokee county for a while, you know that their pastries are legendary. Most of the local businesses in the area sell Bananas and Beehives pastries in their shop because they are just that amazing. We have been partnering with them for over a year and have been nothing short of impressed (especially when they bring in a fresh batch of almond croissants).

Noteworthy Candle Co.

Noteworthy Candle Co.

If you’ve been by the café anytime within the past few months, then you know just how much we love Noteworthy Candle Co. All of her candles are high quality, non-toxic, and asthma friendly. As said on her website, “what you bring into your home matters,” and with Noteworthy Candle Co. you can be confident that you are getting nothing short of an extraordinary candle. We have been partnering with her since the beginning of her business and it has been so incredible to see her business grow into what it is now. When asked about her experience hosting pop-ups with us, Katherine said, “My nontoxic candle lovers frequently ask when my next pop-up at Alma Coffee will be. It’s hands down my favorite place to set up!” We are so happy to be able to offer a space for businesses that may not have a storefront yet. This is what building community is all about! When one small business has success, we all do! 

The Bloom Exchange Co.

Bloom Exchange Co.

For the first time ever, we are so excited to be hosting a vendor artisan market! The Bloom Exchange Co. pop-up will be happening on March 23rd from 9am-3pm here at Alma Coffee! As quoted by co-owners, Nicole Liveoak and Kailee Feirer, "At The Bloom Exchange Co., our mission is to create a safe and supportive space for local creatives to showcase their products. We curate a diverse range of talented vendors, offering unique and high-quality goods that are sure to captivate customers." Their purpose is to give vendors a space to showcase their products and give consumers an avenue for finding the best of the best that the local small business scene has to offer. We’re happy to serve as that avenue!

We are so excited to not only be supporting so many small businesses at once, but to host an event essentially kickstarting the beginning of Spring. Join us for this special event! Parking will be limited so make sure if you’re planning to go with friends, load on up and carpool here!

Small businesses have the capacity to have a big impact. Right now, there are over 10,000 small businesses in Cherokee county alone. All of these play a role in driving innovation and economic growth. That is why we try our best to bolster our fellow establishments in the community. To make a big difference, you’ve got to start small.

I want to thank all those who have been helping others get their loved ones back with the help of Dr. Odunga. You guys really helped me find the right spell caster.

This is about a real spell caster who did a great thing for me. My name is Kurtis Williams. This testimony is about this great spell caster Doctor Odunga who helped me restore my love life back. Me and my wife had a fight and this fight led to us filing a divorce paper with the court and I had made up my mind. My wife was also at the same time furious about the whole issue and my family was broken into two opposite sides. With advice from a good friend of the family I decided to save my marriage and consult a spell caster to save my marriage. I went online into the internet and searched for a real spell caster’s testimony and after reading the testimony of Doctor Odunga I knew he was the spell caster needed to save my marriage and my family from being divided. It was a twist of fate when my wife came to me one evening and said she had withdrawn the divorce papers and she didn’t want to leave me anymore. She loves me so much. I knew that the spell had worked and my marriage had been saved from jeopardy. This is a real spell caster and I believe there are people who need the help of a spell caster. Why not contact the one and true spell caster to put an end to all your problems and save your love life just like he did save my marriage. Thank you so much doctor for everything you did. If you want him to help you, contact him at Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App Him +2348167159012. You can watch my video on youtube through this link too https://youtu.be/5dnlReUb3JU
