While many local businesses are expanding, owners of a Columbia County coffee business have announced they have changed their minds about opening a second location at this time.
Heather Needles and her daughter, Ali Kocher, own Rooted Coffeehouse located in the Market at Riverwood at 3116 William Few Parkway in Evans. They had previously announced plans to open a second location at 380 Milledgeville Road in Harlem.
Needles and Kocher provided no reason for their decision in their Instagram post, but the new shop would have been located very close to Harlem Java House at 211 North Louisville St., Suite A.
“We have learned, in business and life, that what we plan for doesn’t align with God’s best for us,” the post said.
“When we follow His lead, the dream is bigger than we can dream up for ourselves.”
In the post, they also said they’re open to starting a second location in the future.
