After receiving her electric bill this week, Jenna announced she would be reducing the opening hours of the cafe as a result
A cafe owner from Co Down has spoken of the importance of supporting local small businesses whenever possible amid the cost of living crisis.
Taking to social media after receiving her electric bill this week, Jenna announced she would be reducing the opening hours of the cafe as a result. However, turning a negative into a positive, she used the opportunity to shout about the importance of small businesses in the local economy of Northern Ireland.
"Someone coming somewhere like this for their iced latte and a bun could be the difference between me being able to pay my rent that month. Everything is so tight at the minute. "The coffee community in Northern Ireland is so tight and supportive of each other, the amount of messages I got after the post from small business owners was amazing."
"I love my customers and love what I do, and I think if I didn't love what I do it would be a very different story," she added. "In my shop, it's literally just me, it's a one-woman show. I absolutely love it, but it's a unique thing for my customers to know that buying a toastie from me instead of a big chain means they're helping me keep the doors open. It's amazing, I'm so grateful for it."
