Black Hand Coffee Company
Clay Gilbert, owner of Black Hand Coffee Company, talks to RichmondBizSense.com about purchasing and running a coffee shop in the Museum District.
Why were you interested in a coffee shop?
I looked at the Black Hand from a couple different angels. Being able to roast coffee from green coffee beans — there is a lot of profitability there if done properly. [Many restaurants buy roasted beans locally.]
Also the branding of the Black Hand reminded me of the craft beers and small breweries and the way they presented themselves. I like the brand, and the target market of the more progressive alternative coffee drinker — someone who likes a good cup of coffee but also likes craft beers.
