, Is Kick Butt closing? Not yet, but it may soon. Read below.

ACC: One of the things that made our location good is the thing that is hurting it now. ACC is closed for in-person classes. Also, most of the local government administrative offices are still closed. ACC being closed is enough to put Kick Butt out of business. ACC students and staff are least a third of our total business. 

SHOWS: Unfortunately the real kicker is the loss of event sales with no sign of them returning any time soon. Event sales make up almost 50% of our overall sales. We were kind of lucky, if you can call it that, because we also have coffee and lunch sales. Unlike most event venues that have had zero revenue the past 3+ months. Last week, three event venues in the Red River district, including Barracuda, permanently shuttered. Ninety percent of independent music venues expect to close permanently without additional government help.

SUMMER: We just hit our slow time for the coffee part of the business (memorial day through labor day hot summers) and our sales just before memorial day were starting to increase, we were feeling optimistic, they have since dropped back down with the heat. Our sales are down 75% and we are losing about 20k a month to make up the difference in our expenses to stay open. Kick Butt is at risk of closing pernamently.

CLOSING?: We don't want to quit. This is not what we want to happen here, especially since we had just started becoming profitable. But at just past break even we won't last long, losing 15k-20k a month. Even borrowing the money won't make sense much past a few months. We have put our hearts and souls and many 100s of thousands of dollars into Kick Butt, many reasons not to give up. 

YOUR HELP? There is no way we want Kick Butt to end. It is too soon. It is also not too late. There is a wide range of things we are working on to help us make it through this and to continue our service to the community. 

If it is within your heart and within your means to help Kick Butt out financially, you can Paypal to thecoffeeguy@kickbuttcoffee.com and we will apply any funds to the general expenses of the shop or to help with payroll or return it to you if we didn't end up needing it to survive.

THANK YOU: We know we are not the only ones experiencing challenges like these. Thank you for hanging in there with us. Thank you for being a loyal fan. We imagine that you too are experiencing a wide range of emotions reading this message. We appreciate you. We will get through this. We are in this together.

Sincerely,

Thomas Gohring
Owner/Founder, Kick Butt Coffee
