514: Founder Friday! w/ Raoul Adwan of Thrd Coffee in Chicago, IL!
Manage episode 456661241 series 2930761
For this last Founder Friday of 2024 we are featuring a story that I believe really embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship that fuels so many coffee shops. From a cart in the pandemic, to a thriving cafe and catering business, Thrd Coffee, Lead by Raoul Adwan, has shown what is possible when you build with passion and focus.
Raoul Adwan is a Chicago native of Mexican and Bolivian descent who turned a passion for coffee into a thriving business.
Raoul launched his venture during the pandemic with the help of a stimulus check, starting off with a single coffee cart offering street-side brews.
What began as a humble pop-up operation quickly gained traction, and within four years, Raoul’s business expanded to a brick-and-mortar location (currently in the works for his second shop) , complemented by multiple carts equipped with top-tier coffee gear.
Today, Raoul leads one of Chicago’s top coffee catering operations, serving corporate spaces and buildings across downtown with full-service coffee bars.
His innovative approach and commitment to quality have positioned his business for rapid growth, with projected 2024 sales of over $600K and total gross revenue (starting from 2020 to now) hitting $1.15M. Raoul’s journey is a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and community-driven success.
