rooted. — Coffee as neighborhood infrastructure
A South Charlotte coffee enterprise pairing small-batch roasting with local hiring, job training, and resident participation in Brookhill Village and Southside.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the project around a staged operating plan: establish predictable wholesale accounts, add recurring household subscriptions, then use markets and events for neighborhood contact and counter training. It names churches, schools, and offices as prospective anchor buyers, while describing roaster as the formal job title and training as paid from day one. The site also makes its unfinished status explicit: a second venture is planned, but the legal structure remains undecided.
