Some events give you months to plan. This one gave us a few days.
The team at the Ashley store in Avon reached out the same week as their store re-opening. They wanted a coffee bar that felt like part of the celebration, not something parked in the corner, and they wanted it branded. We said yes, put in a rush order on a custom cart wrap, and showed up ready to pour.
A short timeline and a big ask
A re-opening is a big day for a store. Doors open, the floor is set, and the goal is simple: get people in, keep them browsing and make it feel like an event.
Ashley's team knew a coffee bar would help with all three. What they didn't have was time. By the time they called, the re-opening was only days away, and they wanted the cart dressed in their branding.
Rushing a custom cart wrap
A custom wrap usually needs some lead time, so we put a rush order in right away. The finished cart arrived at the store wearing Ashley's branding, which made it look like it had been part of the plan from the start.
That matters at a store event. A plain cart is a nice extra. A branded one becomes part of the store's look for the day, and it shows up in every photo guests take.
Their logo on every latte
We also loaded Ashley's logo into our latte art printer, so every latte went out with the logo printed right on the foam.
It's a small detail that people notice. Guests stop to take a picture before the first sip, and the brand sits right in the middle of the shot.
Four hours, hundreds of guests
We served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the cart stayed busy the whole time. Hundreds of guests came through for a drink while they shopped the newly re-opened store.
A coffee bar works well at a retail opening for a simple reason: a drink in hand keeps people around. They walk the floor a little slower, sit on a few more sofas, and stay long enough to talk with the sales team.
Planning a grand opening on a tight timeline?
We always recommend booking early, and custom wraps go smoothest with a few weeks' notice. But if your opening is coming up fast, reach out anyway. Here's what helps us move quickly:
Your date and the hours you want us serving
The store address and where the nearest outlet is
Roughly how many guests you're expecting
Your logo files, if you want a wrap, logo cups or logo latte art
The cart is fully self-contained. We need about an 8 × 8 ft space and one standard 120V outlet, and we bring everything else.
Call or text (812) 302-2439 for the fastest answer, or send us your details and you'll hear back within 24 hours.
More brand activations
Store openings are one of our favorite kinds of events. If you want to see what else is possible, read how we wrapped the cart for the Nike Caitlin Clark 1 launch at Long's Bakery, ran a branded matcha bar for GUIZIO's IU pop-up, and stepped in on less than a day's notice for Hub Lincoln's open house.
Thanks to the Ashley team in Avon for bringing us in, and congratulations on the re-opening!
