In an effort to move away from supporting problematic businesses while circulating the Black dollar, Ken and Mary Olds, a husband and wife duo, are set to open Muggin Coffee House in the Whitehaven area July 6.

“Muggin’ is a play on words to pay homage to Memphis but also to describe what you’d actually put your coffee in,” Mary said.

“It’s like full circle for my husband and I.”

Muggin Coffee House is committed to ensuring that coffee production is not only high quality and sustainable, but a vehicle for diversity, inclusion, social and economic restoration, entrepreneurship, and environmental sustainability.

Coffee shop conversations often foster creative communities, which is why I am excited about the opening of Muggin in the Whitehaven area, the community where I grew up.

Mary and Ken Olds acknowledge local coffee roasters, J. Brooks for providing Muggin with the best quality coffee roasts.
