Cup of Joe’s
Nixa gained another drive-thru coffee shop Dec. 7 when Cup of Joe’s launched at 813 N. Main St., in the parking lot of Cobblestone Village. First-time business owner and sole employee Joseph Weatherly said startup costs, including purchase of a trailer, were around $25,000. He declined to disclose lease terms with landlord Dan Knight. Weatherly said he saved every penny he could to put into the business during the past year of employment as a direct support professional for The Arc of the Ozarks. He left the nonprofit in October to focus on Cup of Joe’s. He said inspiration to start a coffee shop came after a pair of visits to Italy, where he learned about espresso. At Cup of Joe’s, he serves hot and iced drinks, such as lattes, cappuccino and espresso, with prices ranging $2-$5. It’s the second mobile coffee shop to recently open in Nixa, following the November launch of Chance of Sno & Coffee Co. LLC.
