Behind The Counter - Detroit Small Business

In the inaugural episode of “Behind The Counter,” your host Andy Didorosi and co-host Matt Nahan, sit down with Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company Co-Owner James Cadariu and GLCRC’s former General Manager Andrew Hansen. Andy and Matt sample a few esoteric beverages and talk with James and Andrew about the evolution of Great Lakes and what it’s like to operate an upscale coffee shop and bar in Midtown. James, a lifelong Detroiter and self-described "tippler," explains that he was initially compelled to take on the massive responsibility of co-founding a coffee shop for personal reasons: “That’s essentially my business model, I wanted a place that I wanted to hang out at,” he says.    Episode Credits: Intro and Outro Music by Broke For Free.
