A second Shadrach’s Coffee location is set to open by early April at 2450 South Lamar Blvd., aiming to serve an area of Oxford that currently lacks coffee shops. The first location opened in 2022 and has been well-received. The new shop will not have a drive-through, but an exception was granted by the Oxford Planning Commission. Owners Brad and Heath Akins emphasize creating a welcoming atmosphere for customers and staff alike.
• The new location will cater to a growing demand for coffee in the area.
• The design will allow for up to 30 cars in the drive-thru, easing traffic concerns.
• Hiring for the new spot will start soon, focusing on consistency in service.
• The Akins family aims to foster community relationships beyond just selling coffee.
This expansion reflects the strong community support for Shadrach’s and highlights the importance of local businesses in enhancing neighborhood life. The new location promises to create a welcoming space that prioritizes customer relationships while addressing local needs.
