Coffee shop · 3+ locations · Brooklyn, NY
Poppy's is a three-location independent Brooklyn café run by James Beard fellow Jamie Erickson, named after her grandfather. The only outside money in its history is a startup loan: from her former boss, Kimbal Musk.
The Big Picture
Poppy's is a woman-owned Brooklyn café company with three neighborhood locations, posted wages of $18–22 an hour with benefits, and growth paid for out of the business. The only outside money in its history came from founder Jamie Erickson's former boss, Kimbal Musk, who lent her the startup money rather than buying a stake. Erickson still owns and runs it.
