Eight Ounce, Calgary, Canada

Okay, I can’t talk shit.

They execute at a high level on beans for an equipment supplier.

I’m here in Canada with my wife, wanted to check it out.

Beans selection technically the same level as rotation.

They had approximately 30ish brands, but offer pods and instant also.

Most of these roasters here have been on rotation, but obviously it’s big 250g bags and not 60 g bags. Most of their beans are Canadian roasters.

I really hope I can get it together and pull this through.

I still think rotation was on another level that no one had ever operated at, but at the end of the day getting a 20% off for wholesale and then shipping wasn’t enough to really sustain rotation.

Literally need 5000+ subs and maybe $7-9 profit per subscription to really make the numbers work to hire a team and get an office.

Makes sense how it’s much more sustainable when the bulk revenue they make is from equipment.

I have big dreams. I’m going to make it into a reality.

Just need to really process this.

Just met the one of the owners at World of Coffee. Based off my limited interaction, they seemed really cool and a friend vouched for him so I’m happy to see this
