Opening remarks: With the rapid development of society, some new professions have sprung up, and practitioners in these industries may be ordinary, but they are full of tenacity and courage. Shangluo News Network launched a series of reports "Mortal Glimmer", leading everyone into the lives of grassroots people, understanding their struggle stories, and pursuing the extraordinary in the ordinary. In this issue, we will tell you the story of the coffee shop Zhenning.
"The dark roasted coffee beans used in the shop have a smooth texture. "It's spacious and comfortable, and there's a handmade experience. ""The coffee was good, and the owner was very enthusiastic and introduced me to Shangluo's special food. This is what customers say about Oh My Flower on Dianping. Regarding the recognition of customers, the store advocate Ning said: "Every drink is worth the money, and our pricing is more affordable than other stores, but the quality is not ambiguous. ”
In Shangzhou District, there is a coffee shop called Oh My Flower. Recently, when the reporter saw the store, she was busy, as the fresh-cut flowers were subdivided, packaged, matched, and combined, a bunch of Lanxun Guifu bouquets were made. There are a lot of customers sitting in the store, some of whom are already regular customers.
Zhang Ning told reporters that she had a strong interest in coffee brewing and flower arrangement for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to take the step of opening a store after continuous attempts. In September 2020, as a local, she opened this coffee shop called Oh My Flower on Minzhu Road in Shangzhou District.
"First of all, there are young consumers, who are quick to accept new things, and often have students from local colleges and universities come to the store to take pictures. According to Zhang Ning, young consumers have occupied the mainstream among the customers since the store opened. They come from online channels such as Douyin and Dianping, and after consumption, they feedback their evaluations to more peers through social media, thus forming a large group of young consumers.
"After my opening friend brought me once, I would come to the store every time I came back from vacation, and such a rare place to rest is very precious to me. Xiao Li, a college student who frequents this store, said.
With the rapid development of the economy, the demand for coffee consumption in Shangluo has been growing, and the number of local coffee shops in Shangluo has increased significantly in recent years. But there aren't many shops like Oh My Flower that combine floral art with coffee, which is a big reason why it's gaining traction.
"Whatever you do, you must do it with love and do your best. I'm glad to be able to spread the word about floral art and coffee culture. Zhang Ning also regularly organizes flower arrangement experiences and floral salons, which attract enthusiasts from the neighborhood and even the whole city to participate, which not only strengthens the connection with regular customers, but also attracts many new customers to the store, making the store's business sound and impressive, and giving her a sense of achievement and pride.
Running a store is not all smooth sailing, and before opening a store, Zhang Ning has more freedom to control his time. After opening, she devoted all her spare energy to the store. One of the most memorable for her was that during the epidemic prevention and control period, when employees could not come to the store to help, she personally made products and delivered them to regular customers. A person has to undertake order-taking, production, and delivery, and the cumbersome process and the rush of delivery make her feel unskilled.
"It was a really hard time, and I had the idea of giving up, but the coffee shop was soaked in my own hard work and ingenuity, and finally decided to grit my teeth and persevere. "This is also a microcosm of many micro, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, who do not have strong financial support, but in the end they still survive with their tenacity. "What kind of person who opened a store didn't come here like this?" This is not only the greatness of ordinary people, but also the embodiment of the power of women in the new era.
Looking forward to the New Year, Zhang Ning said with a smile: "I hope that there will be more customers in the new year, the business in the store will get better and better, and Oh My Flower can establish deep friendship and connection with more people, become a bond to maintain the warmth of the community, connect people's hearts, and add a rich fragrance to 22°C Shangluo."
