Edelweiss Coffee, an independent coffee shop in Iron Mountain, Michigan, is celebrating 19 years of continuous growth. Owners Jenni and Tom Wender attribute part of their success to support from Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea, an award-winning coffee roaster and coffee business consultant.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Coffee entrepreneurs Jenni and Tom Wender are celebrating 19 years of success as owners of Edelweiss Coffee in Iron Mountain, Michigan. This independent coffee shop is renowned for its distinct drive-thru-only setup and coffee that always satisfies.

“I would absolutely refer Crimson Cup to anyone opening a coffee shop. The product and training have met or exceeded any expectations I ever had. The support was unexpected and has been extremely helpful to me over the past 19 years. ” – Jenni Wender, Eidelweiss Coffee, Iron Mountain, Michigan

“We focus on providing the highest quality products at competitive prices,” said Tom Wender. “We’re the place where quality meets quick service.”

Jenni Wender said the couple has built their success on doing things the right way for the right reasons. “It’s a blend of exceptional customer service and serving a top-notch drink. Our customers may pop by for just a moment, but in that time, we strive to give them the best. We’re always bustling, always caffeinated, always ready!”

The Wenders opened Edelweiss Coffee at 201 Ridge View in Iron Mountain in August 2004. They attribute the shop’s continuing success to its unique operation and support from Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea, an award-winning coffee roaster and coffee business consultant.

“We are thrilled to celebrate Edelweiss Coffee’s 19th anniversary and the incredible journey they have had,” said Crimson Cup Founder & President Greg Ubert. “It has been an honor to support Jenni, Tom, and their team every step of the way. We are committed to empowering independent coffee shops and sharing our passion for exceptional coffee.”

Ubert set up the company’s 7 Steps to Success program to teach entrepreneurs with little or no coffee experience how to open a coffee shop.

Based on his book, 7 Steps to Success: A Commonsense Guide to Succeed in Specialty Coffee, the program has helped over 300 entrepreneurs in 30 states start and run independent coffee shops serving their local communities. Many Crimson Cup customers like the Wenders have been thriving for 5, 10, 15 or even 20 years after opening.

7 Steps coffee shop startup consultants assist entrepreneurs in everything from writing a coffee shop business plan to training employees and marketing to attract new customers.

“I would absolutely refer Crimson Cup to anyone opening a coffee shop,” Jenni said. “The product and training have met or exceeded any expectations I ever had.”

“The support was unexpected and has been extremely helpful to me over the past 19 years. Whether I need help with equipment or how to prepare a beverage, Crimson Cup has already done it and can help me.”

“The coffee is the best,” she added. “Customers tell us all the time, ours is the best coffee they’ve had, and significantly better than chain store coffee! If they are visitors, they make sure they get our coffee when they’re in town. College students can’t wait to get back to Edelweiss. And our regular customers are the most loyal of all.”

Tom said he counts on Crimson Cup to provide products that will make the best coffee drinks around at a reasonable cost. “They’ve made a lot of changes during the last 19 years, but I just stick with their recommendations, and I have never been disappointed,” he said.

Thinking about opening your own coffee shop? Tom offered this advice:

“Make the coffee shop your full-time job. Believe in yourself and your business plan.”

“Especially in your first year, consistency is king. Put personal flair on the back burner and prioritize a standard approach to preparing drinks. It ensures every cup is as memorable as the last. Imagine running your coffee shop like a franchise – everything is done a certain way every single time!”

Jenni said she thought the independence of being her own boss would be the best part of owning a coffee shop. “But it really has been getting to know so many customers.”

The Wenders invite everyone in Dickinson County and the Michigan Upper Peninsula to pick up an exceptional latte, mocha or other beverage at Edelweiss Coffee. The shop at 201 Ridge View in Iron Mountain is open 7 days a week. To learn more, visit the shop’s website.

State Colleges and Universities See 7% Enrollment Surge; University of Minnesota Freshman Class Up 8%

SAINT PAUL, Minn., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — North Star Prosperity released the following statement after public higher education institutions across the state reported a surge in enrollment thanks to the North Star Promise, a groundbreaking program designed to increase college access and affordability by providing tuition-free opportunities at public and tribal colleges for Minnesota residents making less than $80,000. It is the first time in over a decade that enrollment at Minnesota’s public colleges has increased.

North Star Prosperity led the campaign for North Star Promise, which Governor Tim Walz signed into law in May 2023.

“The North Star Promise program is a game-changer,” stated Mike Dean, Executive Director of North Star Prosperity. “We know that higher education is the most reliable path toward the middle class and yet for more than two decades, the cost of college has been out of reach for too many students. When we make education affordable and accessible, it’s an investment in the future of Minnesota’s workforce. Giving Minnesotans the tools to succeed in today’s economy is not only the right thing to do; it’s good business.”

For more information about the North Star Promise and how it benefits Minnesota residents, please visit www.northstarprosperity.org/freecollege or contact Mike Dean.

North Star Prosperity is fighting for an economy that works for all Minnesotans. Driven by our belief that everyone deserves a fair shot, we challenge the systemic roots of poverty and inequality by advocating for progressive economic policies that dismantle structural barriers and expand opportunity for all.

MUNICH, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ —  Mynaric (NASDAQ: MYNA) (FRA: M0YN), a leading provider of industrialized, cost-effective and scalable laser communications products, today announced the successful advancement of the company’s volume production ramp for the CONDOR Mk3. Mynaric continues to work through previously announced production delays and has realized near-term improvement in production yields and supply chain-related bottlenecks. Production delays of CONDOR Mk3 were caused by lower than expected production yields and supplier shortages of key components.

“We remain committed to our mission to deliver laser communications products at scale to the market and meet our near-term customer requirements,” said Joachim Horwath, Chief Technology Officer and founder of Mynaric. “Despite the setbacks we faced over the past few months, our team has worked tirelessly to address these challenges. We have implemented solutions to ensure the smooth continuation of our production process.”

“We are happy to report that the technical challenges on the production ramp are being addressed and I am working with Joachim to ensure that Mynaric is well positioned for future success,” said Andreas Reif, Chief Restructuring Officer of Mynaric. “Moving forward, Mynaric will continue to meet the current requirements of our customers.”

Current shipments of the CONDOR Mk3 free space optical communications system will be part of the United States Space Development Agency (SDA) Tranche 1 program. Mynaric was selected by Northrop Grumman as the sole supplier of optical communications terminals for the SDA’s Tranche 1 Transport and Tracking Layer programs and by York Space Systems for the SDA’s Tranche 1 Transport Layer. Mynaric was also selected by Loft Federal to supply the CONDOR Mk3 terminals to NExT – the SDA’s Experimental Testbed.

In addition, Mynaric continues to pursue opportunities that explore the use of free-space optical communications for additional space programs. Mynaric has been recognized as a key development partner in Phase 2 of DARPA’s Space-BACN program, was selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to investigate optical technologies for next generation high-throughput optical inter-satellite links and was selected by the German government for multiple projects to develop quantum communication capabilities.

In addition, Mynaric continues to diligently pursue additional capital sources to secure our on-going operations and production ramp. We continue to evaluate a number of different strategic options to address our near-term capital needs.
