Cool little write-up in the Journal of Business. Our name's getting out there!!
New coffee bar opens in West Central spot
Three college friends have opened Indaba Coffee Bar in 1700 square feet of shared leased space at 1425 W.
Broadway, in Spokane.
Bobby Enslow, Ben Doornink, and Jimmy Addington, who became friends while attending Washington State
University and who all graduated within the past two years, are sharing the commercial space located in a new lowincome
housing development with The Book Parlor and with Katie's Table, a nonprofit deli and grocery store.
"We didn't see any other cool hangout for West Central residents to gather in a social kind of way," Doornink says.
"Our goal is to provide a place where local residents, the homeless, lawyers, and artisans can rub shoulders and
experience the things we all share as people."
Indaba is starting with one full-time and two part-time employees, but Doornink says it will probably add more parttime
employees. The trio say they took the coffee shop's name from an African word meaning a gathering of tribal
leaders to discuss important matters, share resources, and collaborate ideas.
Enslow recently was hired to manage the Target store in Kalispel, Mont., Doornink recently was hired by the Far
West Agribusiness Association as its business manager here, and Addington is working at the Barnes & Noble Inc.
store at 4750 N. Division, in Spokane, but they all plan to remain partners in Indaba Coffee LLC, Doornink says. |

The following write-up is in the Spokesman Review in today's business section on page A12. Cool, huh?
Coffee bar to open in West Central
Indaba Coffee Bar is set to open Nov. 9 in Spokane’s West Central neighborhood.
Owners Bobby Enslow, Ben Doornink and Jimmy Addington of Spokane
will offer Italian-style espresso, French-press coffee and pastries.
The coffee bar is in the newly constructed Walnut Corners housing
development, 1425 West Broadway. Indaba will be sharing a commercial
space with The Book Parlor, a nonprofit bookstore, and Katie’s Table, a
nonprofit deli and grocery store. The Book Parlor is open now and
Katie’s Table plans to open soon.
“Indaba” is a South African word that refers to a gathering of tribal leaders.
A portion of Indaba’s proceeds will go toward supporting the
community through organizations such as Project HOPE, an at-risk youth
and gang- prevention initiative in West Central. |
