S&J Coffee Success Story.png

A Lifelong Dream.


Sarrissa Elder has always wanted to own a coffee shop and in 2017 her dream became a reality at the Amarillo Community Market. S&J Coffee House offers hot & cold coffee and other drinks, and in 2020 they began offering sandwiches and daily hot specials! Amidst a pandemic, S&J Coffee House was able to remain open even while having to make some tough decisions. Sarrissa shares “Endurance is key in entrepreneurship, it is about managing difficulties calmly and without complaint.”

​

The SBDC helped them with projections, training, and research.


Endurance is key in entrepreneurship, it is about managing difficulties calmly and without complaint. We understand the struggles that all small business owners face and we value how we all support each other and this has shown us the value in supporting all other small family-owned businesses.
