WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Any business owner will tell you, operating during a pandemic is not easy.
So imagine starting a business right now.
Well, two small businesses in the Triad decided to take the leap of faith.
Ample socially-distanced seating outside and limited seats inside are the things Sean Scott had to consider when opening Known Coffee shop last week.
Sean Scott opened up Known Coffee in Winston-Salem during the pandemic.
“So, I'm either completely stupid or genius, so I guess we'll see in about six months,” Scott said.
Scott closed his successful coffee shops in Florida he'd operated for ten years to start fresh in Winston-Salem.
He opened his new shop inside Campus Gas.
“I had been looking at downtown and opening my own shop and had a lease in hand. Then COVID-19 hit,” Scott said. “So I thought it’d be wise not to invest so much money in a start-up right now. That, paired with their location and established brand, was a much smarter move.”
