We open on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Wednesdays took off quite quickly because the school mums started coming in and then the pre-school little ones. Saturdays took a bit longer. But after just a few weeks we were getting locals in regularly, then some cyclists heard about us, then some mums who had dropped their children off to a dance club. We have a scout activity centre nearby, they did a walk and came in after for bacon rolls. We advertise, but word of mouth is the best advertising.Don't despair, it takes time for word to get around.
Belated anniversary wishes to your church cafe, Polly, and it's wonderful that so many people stopped in to celebrate and that the cafe has a steady clientele.
Looks like a lot of fun! Delicious, delicious fun.

ReplyDeleteIt feels nice being part of it.
DeleteHow long did it take to get people in? My church is doing a coffee morning sort of thing and not getting many locals in.
