In the heart of Harnett County, North Carolina, a coffee revolution is brewing. At the forefront are Seth and Angela Gundersen, founders of Erwin Mills Coffee Company. CloudWyze is proud to play a part in the Gundersen’s journey, providing reliable and fast connectivity to their home and soon to their coffee shop in downtown Dunn.
The Gundersen’s journey with CloudWyze began with a simple yard sign that caught Seth’s attention, sparking his interest in seeking an alternative to his cable internet provider. The switch to CloudWyze Fiber Internet was a game-changer for the Gundersens. When asked about his experience with our Internet, Seth shared, “It’s fast and it works. If the power is on as it should be, it works. I like the people who work with me from CloudWyze. They engage with me and my business and are local folks. It’s a good group.”
Erwin Mills Coffee Company didn’t start as a grand venture but out of a simple desire for a good cup of coffee. The Gundersens and their team initially tested the waters by creating a coffee brand, avoiding the overhead and statistical failure rate associated with opening a brick-and-mortar shop. Inspirational Grounds in Dunn, North Carolina became their first real customer, adopting their brand and selling it steadily. The success of a coffee trailer further fueled the dream, and eventually, the perfect location in downtown Dunn presented itself.
Speaking about the journey, Seth shared, “God has put everything in its place at the right time to make this possible. Everything from planting the idea to opening the shop. It’s been on His timeline, and He has been the best partner we could ask for.”
Running a coffee shop isn’t just a business for the Gundersen’s; it’s a passion to serve happiness. Seth expressed, “With coffee, we serve Happy. Typically, someone starts their day with a cup of coffee to make them happy for the rest of the day. We’re glad to start them off right.”
What sets Erwin Mills Coffee Company apart is its commitment to community service. Seth emphasized, “Erwin Mills and Coffee on Broad want to serve the community. Not only to serve them drinks but to serve as a safe and friendly place to hang out. Whether it’s a group from Church or a band meeting, or a couple of friends who haven’t seen each other in years.” We can attest to this commitment! The Gundersens and their coffee trailer are at most community events and festivals, and always bring a crowd wherever they go.
