A new business in Jefferson has been awarded $5,000 in Jefferson Wants You incentive funds for a new start-up. CHiRP Coffee is a partnership of four women with their last names making up the name of the business – Rona Challen, Shannon Hansen, Terri Renwanz and Carrie Peters.
CHiRP Coffee is located at 409 E. Gallup Rd east of the intersection of Hwys 4 and 30. The drive-through coffee shop will serve coffee drinks, smoothies, plant-based energy drinks and pre-made breakfast and snack options. Hours of operation will be 6 am to 6 pm, seven days a week.
The owners hope to have the business open by the end of May.
