First of all, thank you to all of you who participated in our first online survey last week ( if you missed the survey, it is still available here). We appreciated all the feedback you provided!
You said, “we want more local goods, more coffee shop seating and to keep Sip and Ship’s amazing selection of cards and gifts coming.” We say, “Ok!”

You also asked for more parking! We’ve asked the city about this, and they’ll be getting back to us ;)

Regarding your requests for more cafe seating, check out the early stages of our Greenwood expansion - 2019 is the year we double our footprint with more seating and services for our Greenwood/Phinney Ridge Sip and Ship community.

Meanwhile, if you’re out and about, traveling the world or have an idea for us, feel free to snap a pic and hashtag it to us on Instagram: #shipshopshop #shipshipshop #onestopshop .
One more thing, if you’re a female founder, woman business owner or aspiring one, please consider joining us this Friday, March 1st at our monthly FBomb Breakfast Club meeting where we will discuss community branding.

As always, we look forward to seeing you, your family and supporting your lifestyle at
​ Sip and Ship.
