Success Story: Cup Runneth Over – Sweetwater, Tenn.
One shop celebrating a special milestone this month is Cup Runneth Over in Sweetwater, Tenn. Since opening in 2018, this cozy coffeehouse has become a favorite gathering place for the local community.
Owner Kendra Moreau started Cup Runneth Over with the dream of creating a welcoming space where people could connect over a great cup of coffee. With no prior coffee experience, she turned to Crimson Cup’s 7 Steps to Success program for guidance.
“Starting a coffee shop was a leap of faith, but Crimson Cup gave me the tools and confidence to succeed,” Kendra said. “Their training and support have been invaluable, and I love being part of such an amazing coffee community.”
Today, Cup Runneth Over is known for its specialty drinks, friendly service, and strong ties to the community. It stands as a shining example of how independent coffee shops can thrive with the right support and dedication.
