The Strong Badger Coffeehouse
679 Sargent Avenue R3E 0A7 Winnipeg, MB, Canada

Hello dear Badgers, it’s been way too long since I’ve seen you! I spent some time recently reflecting on my experiences running The Strong Badger, and I thought some might like to share in my reflections. If you’d like to read my thoughts, go to strongbadger.ca for links to the free PDF, or the eBook for a small fee (Kobo and Apple Books supported, Kindle coming soon!) Hope you’re all keeping well. With love, Brock #books #badger #coffeehouse #winnipeg

Badgers, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your messages and expressions of support, understanding, and compassion. They (and you) have truly meant the world to me. You folks are the greatest.

Dear Strong Badger Family, As you may know, the lease on 679 Sargent Avenue expires on April 15, 2019. When I signed the lease, I negotiated a relatively short 3-year term, with an option for a 5-year renewal. Though the space at 679 has been wonderful to me and to my customers, the fact is that there’s really no room to grow here, and it would be unwise of me to sign for another five years. . Of course, the possibility of moving to a new space has also crossed my mind. But t...he honest truth is that, though I wouldn’t trade these years at Strong Badger with you all for the world, I have time and again reached the limits of my mental and physical endurance. Even with all of the phenomenal support I know I would have, I feel that to re-establish somewhere else would be too great an undertaking for me right now. . So, I have reached the difficult decision to close The Strong Badger Coffeehouse at 679 Sargent after March 16, 2019. I want to emphasize that this decision is based upon my personal circumstances, and that the support of my community, the viability and vibrancy of the West End, and the loyalty of my customers are all things which have blessed me in abundance and are completely beyond reproach. . The Strong Badger will certainly live on in some form, and I will rule nothing out for the future. But for now, after March 16 I plan simply to take a step back and focus on my own physical and mental well-being. . I may have opened a space, but you have been its lifeblood. . -Brock See more
