This Woman Started A Coffee Shop With P6,000 Capital | Real Stories Real People | Anna Magalona | OG
Ойын-сауық
They say "fortune favors the brave". Absolutely. During the pandemic retrenched employees turned to entrepreneurship and microbusinesses flourished. And as it turns out, the coffee biz is really one of those pandemic-proof business ideas in the Philippines.
25-year-old Anna Magalona can prove that. She started a side hustle with only 6 thousand pesos in capital selling coffee when the pandemic hit. It was her being proactive; in case, you know, she gets laid off from her job. But retrenchment didn't happen.
After selling her coffee to friends and family and delivering the coffee herself, she worked her way up and started getting her own physical stores.
Then she quit her job. Because why not?
Her pace gets more impressive by the end of 2021 as she opened a total of 15 branches. Now it's another year, the pandemic continues but so is the coffee brewing.
Check out her story for how she did it and the rest of the nitty-gritty.

So proud of her. She's my inspiration. Me too kakaopen lang ng munting coffee shop ko nung Sunday habang nangungupahan sa halagang 3K. Sana lumago ito agad this year.

What people doesn't know is that her parents are already rich. She may had the low starting capital but her network + financial safety net helped with an unfair advantage. She had a condo, working previously as a manager too. Its a good publicity strat to share the low capital story so kudos to her tho. Its not as simple as everyone might think.

I was thinking the same thing. You can't open 15 branches after a year of selling coffee with a small kiosk. Also, 6k pesos isn't enough to cover all those costs out including electricity, and water + the coffee supplies itself. Pretty sure 6k didn't even cover how much the rent space was even though it was under her condo space. Man, if i had support from people i would do the same thing too but i won't be telling people i started with barely $120
I also started a cafe business (milk tea and coffee) last Feb 2021 at first nag click but because of the area which is sa house lang tapos tago pa di ganon kadali ang market so i urge my family to also open a cafe (with our konting ipon) in our old sari-sari store located beside a highway yet in a rural area (risky padin. haha) but i see a potential market since maraming bikers and nag jojog. We also added sikwate (own farm-to-table produce). To cut the story short, starting wasn't easy but never gave up, as long as there is hope, trust God na wala siyang sinimulan na di tatapusin. Sa ngayon di na kami nawawalan ng customer at may bumabalik balik na. Nag susupply nadin kami ng tablea sa Baguio. Di man ganon ka laki ang kita since cheaper lang price namin, but more important is constant and unti-unti umaangat. Best seller namin ngayon is Sikwate with a lot of good feedback even our other drinks and coffee beans from Cordillera. Thanks God at di kami nag give up :)

The purpose of this vid isn't because it took off from a small capital. It is to inspire people that it is possible to do anything in life if you just give it a try, give it your all, and give yourself and your venture a chance to succeed.
As a student, I really dream and want to have a coffee shop to be my Business. And this really inspired and motivate me to do my best so that one day my dream business may come true.💟💖

She started with P6,000 in 2020 and ended up with 15 branches at the end of 2021? And the stores looked like they are well-made? What a load of Bull Crap. That stellar growth is next to impossible to do. She got help from someone to boost and expand her business. This is just for exposure.

Nakita ko na naman ung Emborg. No wonder sumikat sila kasi lakas makasarap nung gatas sa kape nila for sure. Noticed that most small coffee shops are using that milk kaso hirap mahanap sa grocery. One of my go to coffee shops sa barangay namin is using that milk. Talo pa nila ung lasa ng Harvey Fresh ng starbucks. I’m just into iced or hot coffee but if you are into frappes, well, dun na naglalabanan ung mga coffee shop kaso super tamis madalas kaya ayoko lol.

Galing!! Nagsstart palang ako magwork '15-'16, nakakuha si daddy ng area within university community dito sa lugar namin. Pinatayuan nya ng water station un 1st floor. Sabi ko, gusto ko ng coffee shop dun sa taas where students can find peace and enjoy some sip of their coffee. Nagwowork ako sa mnl nun pero inaaral ko kung paano mangyayari... Nawalan na ako ng interest kasi feeling ko di ako pupunta dito to stay. Ang siste, nun 2018, nameet ko asawa kong coffee lover at nagyayang tumira dito sa lugar namin. Kami na may hawak ngayon ng tubigan and nagopen kami ng chicken wings/tapsi sa katabing pwesto (managed by hubby) pero grabe mas matumal pa sa mabagal na internet. 😪 Nawawalan nako ng pag asa. Lately, at night, I see young adults flock on the streets, looking for a place where they can sit and enjoy their bond. Bumalik un enthusiasm ko dun sa plan ko nung 2016 and I'm planning to add these on my menu. Advice sakin ng tropa, pwede naman ako magstart sa hot/iced lang then develop eventually. Napanghihinaan talaga ako ng loob pero sabi ni mommy if mag f2f na maghanda na daw kami. Lord, sana ito na po yung sign. Kahit simple lang po basta mabuhay namin anak namin ng maayos, ipupush ko ito. 🙏🙏 Salamat sa advices and pag inspire ma'am. Narinig ko dito lahat ng gusto ko marinig. Paghahandaan ko ito. Thank you so much!!!
