We had the good fortune of connecting with David And Stacie Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi David and Stacie, what do you attribute your success to?
Collective Coffee was built for the community. Our slogan is to Create, Connect, and Belong. We want our community of customers to know and feel like they have a place to call home. A place that welcomes all.
Collective success is built by our awesome customers and our creative baristas. Our baristas are the backbone of our success. The customers are second to none. The relationships that have been built between our customers and baristas speak to our connect believe.

What should our readers know about your business?
Stacie and I have invested our time and resources to small business for many years.
As with most small to large businesses, we have had our challenges. Most expected and some not. From most we have learned to work through them and create positive memories to never fall into again. Ha.
We have cultured great relationships with our roasting partners such as Edison Roasters and Texas Specialty Beverages. Both of these have walked us through an education in coffee that will serve us well for many years.
Collective Coffee was founded with family in mind. Generational comes to mind when talking through the business side of coffee. The atmosphere coffee brings is hard to beat. The people we meet and have the pleasure of getting to know is the best part of all of it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Downtown McKinney is unique in its own way. We would dare say there are not many like it. There are so many possibilities when it comes to food and drink. Some of our favorite places to take friends and family are Lockwood, local Yocal, The Yard, Cadillac Pizza, and of course the best coffee shop downtown, Collective Coffee.
McKinney is always bringing something new to bring people in. October Fest, coffee crawl, wine walks, and holiday extravaganzas welcome all to enjoy.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
This has been a team effort of close friends, family, and mentors. The biggest support has been the community of McKinney.
We worship at Milestone McKinney and they have been a large support for us. God is without a doubt in this place and we are honored at his presence.
