The founders and owners of the Kansas City-based wholesale coffee roasting company Marcell are ready to see how the other half lives as they prepare to open their first direct-to-consumer retail coffee shop. Take Care by OLEO will open soon in the East Crossroads. Created by Christopher Oppenhuis and Mark Sappington, OLEO is their first retail-only roasting brand focused on coffees grown on single-estate farms that the partners know and already support. The space was the original home of Thou Mayest’s flagship and operated most recently as Chances Social. The 2,000-square-foot two-story location is based on a rural homestead esthetic, seen in their in-house baking program, which will offer signature biscuits served with seasonal preserves and flavored butters and additional pastries baked fresh daily. OLEO’s coffee beans will soon be available for purchase at both their coffee shop and online. Follow them online for their estimated opening date.
