Building a Community Coffee Brand: BrewCo, Systems & Staying Local with Kaytlan Berry | Ep 22

In Episode 22 of the Killer Growth Podcast, Samuel sits down with Kaytlan Berry, owner of BrewCo Coffeehouse, to unpack what it really takes to build and sustain a local, independent coffee business in a small-town market. Kaytlan shares her journey from studying entrepreneurship at Wichita State to launching Dilly Deli, expanding into BrewCo Coffeehouse, and eventually opening BrewCo To Go to meet changing customer expectations around convenience. She explains how the business evolved through multiple locations, ownership structures, and seasons of growth—while staying rooted in quality, community, and consistency. The conversation dives into the operational realities of food and beverage businesses: inventory management, staffing, systems and procedures, owning vs. renting real estate, navigating competition from national chains, and why independent businesses must innovate without losing their identity. Kaytlan also reflects on leadership, burnout, motherhood, and the discipline required to run a business for more than a decade. This episode is a practical and honest look at long-term small business ownership, community-driven growth, and why doing the basics well—every single day—still wins.
