“There was no coffee shops here at all so when Sunday morning came around and we wanted to go get something to drink and there was really a limited option other than driving to Dothan so it just seemed like a smart choice to start here,” said Damen Dennis - Owner of Ozark Bean Bro,

They say the Ozark community has not let them down. With an opening day like no one expected

“Ozark has been incredible we had lines down to Wendy’s the first week that we were open and it has been awesome since then the community here is awesome we see a lot of the same faces everyday and a lot of new faces everyday people still getting to come for the first time,” said Dennis.

The Bean Bro looks to continue to involve themselves in the city along with possibly expanding into Enterprise and Dothan.

The most recent opening is a true family tradition. LA Seafood Market was sparked after a bit of pushing from family.

“They own a seafood market and a big business and they pushed me for the last couple years thinking that a good quality market in this area would work,” said Brian Potter - Owner of LA Seafood Market.

Now their doors are opened and their hopes are high for their location here in Ozark.

“Just to grow to grow and provide everything that people in the area want we’re going to try and have stuff from the high end the more expensive type fishes and crab and some of your more economical type stuff,” said Potter.
