Logos Coffee Bar located inside Emigration Cafe at 1709 E 1300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84108 Logos Coffee - Specialty Roaster & Coffee Shop in Salt Lake City
From Modest Beginnings
Riding the Wave of COVID-19COVID-19 affected businesses and individuals around the world, creating widespread economic challenges. Like many others, Logos Coffee was significantly impacted. The company lost its coffee cart contracts with offices, which had been a major source of revenue. Additionally, sales at farmer's markets declined due to reduced foot traffic and event cancellations. These global and local challenges forced Logos Coffee to adapt by exploring new sales channels and adjusting its business model to remain operational during the pandemic. Pivoting to Other OpportunitiesTo say Logos has grown into a powerhouse would be an understatement, as they have grown from a one-kilo roaster in Nick's backyard shed to a mobile coffee counter to selling beans and coffee online and at markets, to now their permanent coffee bar. Logos is not only located in a great neighborhood, they are tucked inside popular eatery Emigration Cafe, a match made in heaven! Restauranteur Scott Evans, whose Pago Group took over the space in 2022, wanted to break up the 4,000-square-foot spot into something that made more sense than just one big eatery. Evans said he lives in the neighborhood, “so I know what I hear from my neighbors, which is that a coffee shop that’s walkable would be great" and so the collaboration with Nick and Eric was born. Now diners can get a great coffee during their meals at Emigration but people can also enjoy the stand-alone coffee bar. Brunch here is a must! How Could an Opportunity Boost Grant Help Logos? Roasting Coffee These funds will enable Logos Coffee to purchase additional green coffee, which is crucial for meeting the growing demand for their products. With a larger inventory of raw materials, the business can scale up production, offer a wider variety of coffee options, and ensure a consistent supply for customers. This will support Logos Coffee's growth by allowing it to serve more clients, enter new markets, and further solidify its brand as a provider of high-quality coffee. Nick is passionate about sourcing coffee from some of the world’s most renowned coffee-growing regions, including Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Peru, Colombia, and Guatemala. Each are known for producing unique and distinctive coffee profiles, ensuring that the coffee Logos produces reflects a diversity of flavors and origins, offering customers a wide range of high-quality brews. Sourcing from these regions also supports sustainable farming practices and helps uplift local communities. Made Possible by ARPA & SLC Econ Development Powered by funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and orchestrated by the Salt Lake City Department of Economic Development, the Salt Lake City Community Grant Program was created to help small businesses, artists, artisans, and nonprofits grappling with the aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Utah Microloan Fund applied for this grant to enable us to create the Opportunity Boost Program benefitting our existing clients who needed a little boost to help them grow and stabilize. This is the first grant program of its kind for the UMLF as normally we only provide microloans to the small business community. To be able to just give money vs lend it was a big treat for our team! Eligibility of Small Business Owners invited to apply for the Opportunity Boost Grant:
