You may have already met Amir around Township over the past few weeks! ❤️ As the new owner, he’s been busy spending time alongside Erik, getting to learn all the tricks of the trade and all the little things that make Township so special. Here’s what he’d like to tell everyone:
“Hi everyone, I’m Amir, and I’m really happy to share a little bit about myself. I took over Township Coffee in August, fulfilling a dream of mine.
I’ve lived in Gordon Head for the past five years, since I first came to Canada, so this community has really become my home. Now, being a part of the community through Township makes it even more special to me. I’m also a Dad to two young kids, and my family means everything to me. What I really love about Township is that it feels like the kind of place where families, neighbours, friends, and regulars all become friends.
My background is in teaching and technology, but I’ve always loved coffee. Getting the chance to turn something I’ve always enjoyed into a business is very exciting! Spending the past few weeks working with Erik, I can see why so many people consider Township their home.
I’m still learning, sometimes trying to do ten things at once, but I’m really enjoying the journey. I don’t want to come in and change everything. My goal is to respect what was built before me, learn from it, and slowly add my own ideas to make Township my own.
I also want to say a special thank you to Erik, who has helped me so much through this transition. He’s become a part of my family. His support, friendship, and help have meant a lot to me, and I’m very grateful for everything he has done.
So if you see me around Township, please come say hi! I’d love to meet you, hear your story, and hopefully make you a good cup of coffee. Cheers to this next chapter with all of you!”
