This is a recording of the creation of a new business, Dancing Cup Cafe, in Orange Beach, Al., by two people that have never opened a business before, Scott VanTine and Rhonda Hill. We chose Orange Beach because we wanted to be close to my family and we wanted to be even closer to the beach. We chose a coffee shop because we both love coffee shops and both know how to work one. What we don't know is how to start one.

Dancing Cup Cafe is now OPEN !
We Are Open ! I really thought I would lose my mind before we got our doors open. Now that we made it to this point I'm pretty sure I lost my mind a long time age ! Our first day was pretty slow, mostly people stopping by just to say they were very glad we are finally open. The locals have been watching our progress and are excited to finally have a place to get coffee and a bite to eat without having to leave Bear Point. Our first day we lost a freezer. We only had one. We were able to have Foley Kitchen and RESTAURANT SUPPLY, replace the bad one we bought from them and RITA HAYES AND I went to Sears and bought a " spare " freezer. That was yesterday. Today we went to work but there was no traffic at all so we decided not to open on SUNDAYS. I got a little more prep work done before leaving shop around 10:30. Then Rita , Scotty ,Scott and I went to the beach. It was the first time in 3 weeks we had taken time to walk along the beach.
I'm very happy we have pasted the construction part and all the inspections. But I'm afraid now is when the real work begins.
