In August 2022, with a passion for serving fresh coffee and a $500 loan, Mark Wood set out to start his first business. After a day with the owner of Epoch Coffee, to learn the necessary barista skills, he quickly went to work planning his own business. He conducted market research, sourced supplies, and purchased equipment.
Mark is now serving fresh ground coffee four days a week to an average of 24 customers each day. Starting “The Coffee Guy” has allowed Mark to improve many different skill sets such as; customer service, time management, budgeting, branding, daily and weekly cleaning, inventory, data entry, creating posters, and using the PA system for advertising. With many more learning opportunities to come in the future, we are all eager to see how Mark continues to grow along with “The Coffee Guy”.
We’re proud to recognize Edith Mackay for her incredible commitment to personal growth, business success, and independence over the past year. From attending Tuesday knitting circle meetings to engaging with MLA candidates before the election, Edith is an active and engaged citizen.
As the owner of Edith’s Creations, she’s had a busy year managing her Facebook page, fulfilling Christmas orders, and reaching a major milestone—completing a 6-week Entrepreneurial Mindset Certificate through Saint Mary’s Access Ability program.
Beyond her business, Edith continues to embrace independence, whether it’s baking, running her business, or dedicating time each week to managing her personal responsibilities. In 2025, she will take another exciting step by moving to Transition Cove, further expanding her opportunities for growth.
Congratulations, Edith—we are so inspired by all that you have accomplished!
