That’s a wrap!
It’s hard to know where to start with this post, so we’ll start with a massive heartfelt thank you.
Thank you to everyone that has supported our little business for almost four years. You have helped make Simon’s dream of working on the beach come true, and even better, we have gained some truly excellent pals along the way.
Special thanks to Nancy and Bella for giving us back some vital family time at weekends. Nancy will still be in the van on Sundays and will always have a seat at our table and a place in our family 💚
Although the time has come for Simon to hang up his barista apron (if only he’d ever worn one and not ruined every item of clothing he owns 🙄), it’s not the end for Cloud 9 Coffee.
We have found a capable pair of hands to take over the business and continue to cultivate the wonderful community Simon has built on the prom. So, please show your support for Ben, who will be opening up from Tuesday 20th October and follow the new account
Good luck, Ben! We’ll be down for a brew very soon!
Meanwhile, we’d love to keep in touch with everyone, so please follow us Lucy, Simon, Douglas & Edith where you will find my ramblings and probably a healthy smattering of the Simon trolling that you all seem to love!
Until Simon’s next grand plan… peace out ✌🏼
