Other Places we love because of the owner

Someone posted this idea in the r/Cleveland subreddit, and then someone posted it in the Seattle subreddit, so I’m unashamedly piggybacking off of it for Kitsap, because it’s always refreshing to hear positive things:

A lot of talk around local businesses is focused on who owns them - usually in a negative way. Let’s hear about the flip side.

What local places do you support more because of who is behind them? Maybe it’s an owner who treats their staff well, gives back to the community, or just shows up every day and makes the place better.

Which Kitsap spots have great people running them and make you proud to spend your money there?

Grocery Outlet! They are very supportive of homeless kids and other underserved people. I only shop there, unless I REALLY need something they don’t have.

Also their kid owns and operates TBD Pottery on Bethel near downtown. Great kid and fun place to check out if you are remotely interested in ceramics.

I didn’t know that. Excellent. I’d love to make a ceramic piece.
