Throughout history, coffee houses have been a center for intellectual discussion and education. This kind of communal sharing of ideas impacted many great social and political movements. For example, The East India Company, Lloyds of London and the London Stock Exchange resulted from coffee house discussions in Europe. In the US, coffee houses were popular meeting places for Revolutionary leaders. The Declaration of Independence was first read in front of a Boston coffee house. Even the New York Stock Exchange originated in a coffee house!Matt Sellors, owner of The Daily Grind, is keeping this rich history alive and well in West Cobb County.
On any given day at The Daily Grind you can find business meetings going on in the back conference room, people meeting for Bible studies, moms discussing PTA events, students with their laptops, or people just "hanging out" enjoying great coffee.When Matt Sellors left his corporate career in search of a more satisfying business venture, he looked into many retail opportunities. When he was researching he went to a Daily Grind coffee house in Salem, Virginia and saw a group meeting there for a Bible study. He says at that moment it "clicked" for him. He realized that he wanted to provide an environment like that in his own community.
After Matt decided to open a cafe in West Cobb, he looked at his competition and said to himself "it can be done better." By providing a coffee house that not only has great coffee but goes above and beyond with things like free Wi-Fi, excellent and friendly service, delicious food, and a comfortable and stylish atmosphere he has done just that.For Matt, it's all about giving back to the community. One of his primary goals is to impact young people in West Cobb by providing a safe yet fun place to congregate. He has also been involved with a small business mentoring
program at Harrison, Sprayberry and Kennesaw Mountain high schools. The Daily Grind is also involved with community churches and provides coffee for several churches on Sundays such as North Metro (where Matt and his family attend church), Riverstone Wesleyan Fellowship, and Burnt Hickory Baptist.
Matt and his wife JoAnne can often be found working at The Daily Grind along with 3 of their 5 children, so go in for some great coffee and say - "Hi"!
