Hello everyone,
We are thrilled to introduce ourselves as the new owners of Lift & Sip Co, the beloved coffee shop on the Kenai Peninsula. Some of you might have met me, I am Shalene and my husband, Jean-Pierre and I recently took over Lift & Sip Co, and we are excited to continue the tradition of excellence that Lift & Sip has become known for, while also bringing our own unique vision to the shop.
For those who haven't visited Lift & Sip, it is located right next to Save U More and in front of the Iron Asylum Gym on K-Beach Road in Soldotna, AK, a small but vibrant community on the Kenai Peninsula. The shop has been a gathering place for locals and visitors alike, who come for the high-quality coffee, delicious baked goods, and warm, welcoming atmosphere.
We are no strangers to the coffee industry. In fact, I have 6+ years of extensive experience in the field, having worked at various coffee shops and roasteries throughout my career. I have also been apart of the original Lift & Sip family from 2020 when it was established. When we heard that Lift & Sip was up for sale, we knew that it was the perfect opportunity for us to bring our passion for coffee and hospitality to a new level.
Our vision for Lift & Sip is simple: to continue to offer the high-quality coffee and delicious treats that customers have come to expect, while also adding our own unique flair to the shop. We plan to introduce some new menu items that showcase our love of experimentation and creativity, while also keeping the classics that our customers have come to love.
We believe that a coffee shop is more than just a place to get a quick caffeine fix. It's a place where people come together to connect, and enjoy each other's company. We want Lift & Sip to be a place where everyone feels welcome, no matter their background or lifestyle. We plan to create a welcoming environment where customers get their Sip's before taking on the day, grabbing one on the way home so you can make sure you get all the nutrients you need or maybe you just want to treat yourself to a little afternoon caffeine!!
We are also committed to sustainability and using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. We believe in supporting our local community, and we plan to work closely with other small businesses in the area to create a thriving, supportive community.
We want to take this opportunity to thank the previous owners of Lift & Sip for creating such a wonderful establishment, and we are honored to carry on their legacy. We also want to thank our customers, old and new, for their support and encouragement as we embark on this exciting new journey.
We can't wait to see you all at Lift & Sip soon, and we look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to listen and make Lift & Sip the best it can be.
Warmly, Shalene and Jean-Pierre
