February 2022 Business of the Month: Beans & Brews
Beans & Brews—or “Beans,” as friends call them — is a staple around Utah and when Melanie Jorgenson decided to open a franchise, she chose Vernal as the perfect city to do so. In 2014 she moved to Vernal, met her future husband and have since had all their adult children move to Vernal as well!
Their favorite part of living here is how close knit the community is and how the whole town rallies when there is someone in need. They enjoy supporting the community and have donated close to 35,000 cups of hot chocolate and coffee to Holly Days, the Gobbler (5K for local charity), and the Naples Tree Lighting Ceremony!
Beans & Brews has been proud to sponsor various school organizations, Uintah School Foundations, Grad night and countless other associations. The only thing that makes them smile even more than serving your favorite beverage, is helping a cause they believe in.
They honor and respect our Law Enforcement Officers and are so grateful when they come in that they offer free coffee to any officer in uniform and happily provide a 10% discount to all Veterans.
Melanie said Beans & Brews business philosophy “is that their guests are the reason for getting up in the morning. We love greeting regulars with their favorite drink and getting to know their customers. Our shop is lucky to have a large lobby space with free Wi-Fi and a comfy seating arrangement - because of this we have all sorts of groups meet here including church groups, the Army National Guard who like to conduct recruiting and interviews here, the German Club and student groups that come here to study and chill, we even have a couple that come play chess every Sunday not to mention it’s a great place for a first date!”
The core of the business Melanie said is the Beans employees! They employ about 17 baristas who really believe they are “crafting your drink with love”, they take pleasure in interacting with their guests and creating a strong and sincere human connection– not only do they serve locals that come in every day but they get to meet tourists from around the world that are coming through our little town and enjoy hearing their travel experiences.
Beans & Brews are so grateful for their guests, their employees and this community that they love to serve and support.
The Public Relations Committee of the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present Business of the Month to Beans & Brews for their many contributions and their continued commitment to our community.
