Lucky Ones Coffee signed their lease for five more years in the space connected to the Park City Library, bringing a revamp to the aesthetics of the space and functionality of the barista area.
The coffee shop is set to reopen Wednesday and has an official ribbon cutting for the renovated space set for a tentative date later in July.
“Hopefully, we will be functional on the 3rd — work out some kinks. We’ll be open on the 4th because it’s always one of the busiest days in here,” co-owner Katie Manhart said. She explained there will be additional finishing touches over the next few weeks leading up to the ribbon cutting. There are plans to work with the library and an interior designer to bring in new furniture and revamp the overall space.
“Initially, when we ripped everything out we were like, ‘We’re doing it in a week,’ so cute and naive,” Manhart said.
Hitting a couple snags with redoing plumbing, which required shutting the water off in the entire library, and shipments that included tracking down a misplaced fridge in a Salt Lake warehouse, Manhart and the crew are excited to reopen.
Lucky Ones Coffee’s mission is to employ and empower individuals with disabilities. They started with 10 staff members when they opened six years ago and now have a second store in Kamas with a total of 29 staff members.
