SPOTLIGHT | JAVA MOON
Megan and Ron Cook took ownership of Java Moon in December of 2021. If you have been to the coffee shop, or are a frequent patron of Java Moon, chances are you have seen Megan behind the counter making coffee, preparing food, washing dishes, restocking items, and cleaning tables. Megan isn’t one to ask her employees to do tasks she wouldn’t do herself and her dedication to the business is reflected in the positive reviews and beaming feedback from patrons in the coffee shop. Megan is a believer in community and connection, which is the main focus of Java Moon, she wants the coffee shop to be a place for people to gather and connect. Megan said some people come in twice a day just to chat and to see her and the baristas and to hang out. Java Moon not only has great coffee – which Megan speaks highly of, but they also make everything in-house. “We make everything from scratch, crack every egg, and measure every ingredient. There is nothing we don’t make in-house. All the bakery items are handmade and we just upgraded to quality meats from Boar’s Head so the Turkey is now organic!” Megan stated. The most popular food menu item is The Classic sandwich made with sun dried tomato turkey, provolone, bacon, avocado, and a garlic spread. The most popular baked good is the monster cookie which is gluten-free and has oats, M&M's, and chocolate chips. Customers love lattes of all kinds and the [...]

SPOTLIGHT | SIDE STREET BED & BATH
After retirement, Jennifer Nelson found herself wanting to be more involved in the community and to be around people. In her time out and about, she noticed that Sheridan had a niche to be filled with mid to high-end quality bed and bath goods. With that in mind, Jennifer created Side Street Bed & Bath to offer beautiful, soft, and relaxing items to the community. Jennifer and her husband Garry have owned the downtown business since 2014 and Jennifer runs the business full time. While designing the look and feel of Side Street Bed & Bath, Jennifer employed the concept that she wanted to help people create a haven for themselves. She enjoys helping people create a restful environment so they have a relaxing escape in their home. Jennifer said that she wanted a whole new experience for shoppers. She said, “With all of the beautiful blankets, bedding, towels, and soft intimates, there’s a tactile experience to give people when they’re here.” One thing Jennifer said she wants more people to know is that she carries bedding at Side Street Bed & Bath. She stated, “Oddly enough people don’t know I offer more than pajamas and towels until they come in and shop.” Jennifer really enjoys working with people who want help designing their bedrooms to create a dreamy escape with colors and fabrics. She keeps a sleek and openly shoppable space that is easy to browse and allows plenty of room to move around and put together your own [...]
