Home Town Inspired: Young Entrepreneurs Invest Time and Energy By Elizabeth Lawliet From the courthouse to the beautiful Victorian homes, Carthage is a unique and lovely town, full of surprises and its own quiet charm. It’s a town that not only supports local entrepreneurs but also encourages them, as evidenced by the many flourishing locally-owned enterprises. Coffeehouses, wireless providers, card shops, dance studios: Carthage supports its small businesses, and it shows. Three of these local entrepreneurs profiled below are investing in the future of the community and making a name for the next generation. Caffix Coffee – Justin and Tahnee Bass Located right on Grand Avenue, in a mix of residences and other small businesses, Caffix Coffee is a full service coffee shop and local hangout. Owners Justin and Tahnee Bass had the idea of starting the shop after returning from a CIY (Christ in Youth) ski trip with Fairview Christian Church. At the ski lodge, there were many nice places to hang out, drink a cup of coffee, and relax. Upon returning to Carthage, the Basses realized that their town lacked such a place, and the rest, as they say, is history. Regulars and newcomers alike can enjoy the genuine coffeehouse atmosphere at Caffix, which serves breakfast and lunch, along with a full range of espresso drinks. “We can make anything Starbucks makes!” Bass says. But coffee and a nice atmosphere aren’t the only things that Caffix has to offer; Tahnee also caters, from meetings to weddings and everything in between. Though they don’t carry coffee beans for sale in the shop, Bass will be happy to order them.
