  Hey everyone, welcome to Coffee People podcast presented by
• 0:25
  Rostar Coffee Packaging. I'm popping in today with Aaron
• 0:29
  Ninao, the owner and operator, which is a totally different
• 0:32
  thing of the Sun Coffee Roasters in the La Costa neighborhood of
• 0:36
  Carlsbad, CA Aaron, welcome back.
• 0:39
  Congratulations. I think we have some big news.
• 0:43
  Thank you. Always happy to be here with
• 0:44
  you, Ryan. This weekend I believe you are
• 0:47
  celebrating your one year anniversary at the new store.
• 0:51
  How does that feel for you? It is an incredible feeling.
• 0:56
  We opened this store on December 6th last year and I really had
• 1:00
  no idea what I was getting myself into because I had never
• 1:02
  opened a store from scratch. And you kind of expect that
• 1:05
  you're going to open and people will just be here.
• 1:08
  But it's a little bit harder than that.
• 1:09
  So it's been one of the most challenging years to date, but
• 1:14
  also the most rewarding and that I've learned so much.
• 1:17
  And to be here, still in business, doing better every
• 1:20
  month a year later just feels like like I couldn't be more
• 1:24
  grateful for the fact that we're still in business and that we're
• 1:28
  doing so well and growing all the time.
• 1:30
  So, yeah, great. I think the term you used for me
• 1:34
  just a moment ago off air was thriving and it sounds like
• 1:38
  you're on your way. Yes, constantly trying to get
• 1:42
  there. We're chatting in early
• 1:45
  December. I want to give you just a since
• 1:47
  we're just popping in today, but anything going on for the
• 1:50
  holidays promotion wise or giveaway wise or you know, gift
• 1:54
  card, that sort of thing. Yeah, so we're doing a promotion
• 1:57
  with our gift cards. If you come into the store and
• 1:59
  buy a $25.00 gift card to get a free cup of coffee, you know,
• 2:04
  just for your trouble of coming over to buy the gift card.
• 2:06
  So that's a great deal. And then we just released our
• 2:10
  holiday blends. It's got notes of dark
• 2:13
  chocolate, candied pecan and Maple.
• 2:15
  And it was one of our top sellers last year.
• 2:18
  It was super popular. So this is available in store
• 2:22
  and on the website, and there's a promo code on the website.
• 2:26
  If you just go to our homepage, you'll see it like scrolling
• 2:28
  across the top and free shipping on orders over $50.00.
• 2:32
  So you can get that coffee brought to you straight to your
• 2:35
  door to a loved one for a really great deal right now.
• 2:39
  A loved one just for myself. Yeah.
• 2:43
  And I appreciate you being here, not just because, you know,
• 2:46
  you're celebrating a year with us, but because this is our
• 2:49

  there. Aaron, anything else before we
• 3:08
