The Precinct Cafe’ is nearing the final stages of preparation on the Courthouse Square in West Union and will host its Grand Opening celebration on December 15th from 7:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. with the ribbon cutting at 10 a.m.
Last week, a soft opening was held for the new business. “Thank you to our wonderful employees and everyone who came out to support us,” said Manager Sierra Purdin.
“A special thank you to Liz Lafferty, the Adams County Board of Developmental Disabilities, and all our contractors who have worked hard to get us to this point. We can’t wait to serve you!”
Earlier this fall, the Adams County Association for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities announced that Sierra Purdin has been named General Manager. According to the association, Purdin comes to the cafe’ and coffee shop with experience in many business avenues and has hired leads and baristas.`
The Employment First opportunity has been created to support the employment of people with disabilities in a very community-inclusive environment.
If readers are familiar with the history and many stories of the building, they will appreciate certain drinks that are being named to represent the 130 years of history. For example, the “Tyrone” is named after the building ghost and is a white chocolate mocha, while the “Jailer” will be a caramel macchiato. The “Precinct” will be the daily signature brew featuring in-house, dark and decaf blends and then offered a chocolate/peanut butter flavor in any style. Delivery will also be available around the square, along with curbside pickup. Other favorites will be available like a monthly specialty coffee that will have proceeds returned to community organizations.
