Episode 16: Coffee & Community: The Remnant's Journey with Jamie Riffe and Abigail Jordan

What happens when two determined ladies take the leap to chase their entrepreneurial dreams? Jamie Riffe and Abigail Jordan, the mother-daughter duo from The Remnant Tea & Coffee, share their story of turning a simple coffee shop into a community gathering place in downtown Marion. Discover how their backgrounds in real estate and business, coupled with a shared vision sparked by the pandemic, led to the creation of a coffee shop…even though they didn’t drink coffee and hadn’t ever worked in a coffee shop! 

Jamie and Abby open up about the sacrifices made and the amazing support from family and friends, which was crucial in transforming their dream into reality. They talk about the long hours and unpaid labor it took to create a place where they want everyone to feel like family. This episode also captures the thrill and challenges of expanding from their original cozy spot to a sprawling 8,000 square-foot downtown building, which created opportunities but also some challenges!

Jamie and Abby discuss the network of downtown businesses working together to all create a special experience, touching on how they’ve adapted and evolved their offerings to meet the needs of their customers. From introducing gluten-free options to their vision of a refillery concept, their commitment to innovation and community engagement shines through. We hope you get inspired by their incredible journey and learn how they’ve woven their personal and professional lives into a tapestry of success and community impact.
