Local entrepreneurs pitch Sunrise Baristas LLC for Main Street coffee shop
Summary
Jessica Fillinger and Branden Van Noy presented plans to purchase part or all of a city-owned Main Street lot for Sunrise Baristas LLC, aiming to open by Fall 2025 if approvals proceed; the council requested a contractor inspection of the lot before advancement.
Entrepreneurs Jessica Fillinger and Branden Van Noy presented a proposal on May 12 to locate Sunrise Baristas LLC on a portion of a city-owned lot on Main Street. They said they hoped to purchase one acre, or at minimum one-half acre, and could open by Fall 2025 if the purchase and permitting proceed.
Council members expressed no formal objection to the idea but agreed that a contractor needed to inspect the lot in person to ensure the current plans are buildable on the site. No formal vote or sale occurred at the meeting; the council's comments were advisory and instructed next steps (site inspection) to verify feasibility.
If approved through a future sale or replatting process, the project would progress through the city's land-sale and permitting steps as required.
