Dignitaries are expected to be present at the ribbon-cutting and grand opening this morning of A Cup on the Hill Coffee Shop at 730 Minnesota Ave., in the remodeled Katz building in downtown Kansas City, Kan.
The ribbon-cutting is expected to take place at 9 a.m. today.
In 2014, Community Housing of Wyandotte County joined with A Cup on the Hill to establish the café to bring high-quality coffee to the community and educate its youth.
The new coffee shop will have a work-based learning curriculum and mentorship program for its young employees, according to a spokesman for CHWC.
The coffee shop opened at 7 a.m. Friday, with CHWC’s Friday morning community coffee planned from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the new coffee shop. The ribbon-cutting is at 9 a.m.
