1 Year for The Recipe Box

When you think about the course of events that can take place in the span of one year, it is really something to celebrate when one of our local start up businesses makes it to the one year mark.   

This Saturday, The Recipe Box, brain child of Stephanie McManus, has becoming the up and coming go-to for cake and coffee this side of the Hoquiam bridge, for the greater part of 2012.  February 9th marks the first anniversary of the "little bakery that could", and the staff wants to celebrate by thanking everyone for the encouragement and support.

Stop by the store on February 9th between 9:00am and 4:00pm for specials and deals that will make your Saturday sweet.  For starters it will behoove me to mention the free cake and coffee (hello! I said free) along with drawings every hour! (one entry for every $10 spent).  A fun trivia game will be running throughout the day with prizes and special deals every hour, including the following; 

9:00am-10:00am buy biscuits and gravy get second plate 1/2 off
10:00am-11:00am 50% off all espresso with purchase of $5+
11:00am-12:00pm Buy two get one free on all pastries/baked goods
12:00pm-1:00pm 2 for $4.00 homemade pizza and calzones
1:00pm-2:00pm 1/2 off sandwiches with soup
2:00pm-3:00pm Buy 1 dozen cupcakes/cookies get 1/2 dozen free
3:00pm-4:00pm Everything must go, all remaining treats discounted!!

This birthday party has it all, including rootbeer floats, orange floats and sundaes, because what party is complete without Ice Cream?

After meeting with Stephanie, and listening to her story about her jump from fashion design to culinary school and how she ended up back on the harbor, to how serendipitous her eventual ownership of The Recipe Box turned out to be, I am a believer in the dream of the small business.  Come out and support one of our own as she celebrates the one year mark of The Recipe Box, at 2302 Simpson Ave in Hoquiam (at the base of the bridge).
