Thanks to you, we have reached our 13th anniversary
March from today.
October 10st, which is "Coffee Day," a relatively significant day for coffee shops, is the day that Usagi and I celebrated our 1th anniversary. Because of the COVID-13 pandemic, we didn't have in-store dining for a while, so it doesn't feel like it's been that long, but it's been a full 13 years. Like the rabbit who accidentally took a break, we've been left behind by the latest trends, and somehow we've started to exude an air of old age rather than turtle. We're at an age where we can start to feel "withered" and "matured."
I'm still involved in the welfare field, so it's difficult to make a simple comparison, but time has flown by and the time I've spent at this store is now as long as the time I spent working in the welfare field.
Recently, I had the opportunity to reflect on the origins and current state of the store through conversations with university students and customers who wanted to open a similar store.
What we thought when we worked at the facility and what we thought when we started the shop. We are now operating a shop away from the welfare field, but I feel like our basic stance hasn't changed since the old days.
"Building a bridge between welfare facilities and society"
(Broadly, we think of it as "helping society in whatever way we can.")
Unless we can see the needs of the facility or an unexpected event occurs, it is difficult to come up with new tasks to tackle.
If there is such a thing as a divine mission, we believe it is to be involved in welfare for people with disabilities. Even if it is just a small movement in society, we hope to continue working on it without losing sight of the core values of our store.
We look forward to your continued support in our 14th year.
