About this listen
In this episode of the Lead Lamp Podcast, Brett sit down with Andrea Grove, founder of Elementary Coffee Co., to explore how a simple love of coffee grew into a thriving local brand and community hub in Harrisburg, PA. Andrea shares her journey from roasting coffee at home to opening at the Broad Street Market, surviving setbacks like a devastating fire, and growing into two successful locations. We dive into her passion for third spaces, why coffee is more than just a drink, and how collaboration over competition is shaping the future of local business.
Topics in this episode include: The spark that led Andrea to start Elementary Coffee in 2014. Why coffee shops are vital “third spaces” for connection. Lessons from rebuilding after loss and growing with grit. The balance of staying small, local, and true to your mission.
If you love coffee, entrepreneurship, or stories about building authentic community, this episode is for you.
