Lilac Coffee, located at the intersection of Colfax Avenue and Dahlia Street, is feeling the strain of ongoing construction due to a water pipe replacement project. The business has had to extend its hours and open more days each week in an effort to compensate for the financial losses incurred during this disruptive period.
The construction has led to reduced foot traffic, which is vital for local establishments like Lilac Coffee. Owners have reported a noticeable decline in customers, as the roadwork creates obstacles for patrons trying to access the café. In response, the team at Lilac Coffee is working hard to adapt by offering special promotions and events to attract more visitors.
As the project continues, local businesses along Colfax Avenue are banding together to support one another, hoping to weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other side. Community support is crucial during this challenging time, as these businesses play a significant role in the vibrancy of the neighborhood.
