SBA honors Coffee By Design
The co-founders of Coffee By Design have been named Maine’s Small Business Persons of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Alan Spear and Mary Allen Lindemann, the husband-and-wife team who opened the Portland-based company in 1994, received the honors as part of SBA’s National Small Business Week, which began on Monday. The two will be recognized on May 15-16 in Washington, D.C., among business owners from across the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam.
Spear and Lindemann had previously been chosen by Mainebiz as its 2005 Small Business Leaders of the Year. Lindemann will speak at the publication’s 2014 Business Leaders of the Year Executive Forum to discuss “managing through change” on June 12.
Coffee By Design has four retail locations, a micro-roaster, 51 staff members and over 300 wholesale customers, according to Business Insider. The company brought in $6 million in revenue for 2013, the same year it borrowed $2.5 million to build a new roasting facility.
