Thank you Bulls and BMO for an unforgettable month🤍 We will never forget it and are immensely grateful for this opportunity. So much hard work behind the scene the Bulls team does for their spotlight program. It was incredible to be there and see it all come together. We met a bunch of new people that we can’t wait to work with in the future.
A special thank you to Brooke, Myra, Nikko, and Joe for being so diligent and for believing in the work CA does. We are grateful for you all!!
Coffee & matcha pop-ups all month long ☀️ We’re so excited to be hosting some incredible small businesses!
When we were looking who to host, we really prioritized people who do pop-ups. Before we had a shop of our own, so many of our fellow small business friends opened their doors to us—it only feels right to return the love.
Pull up, grab a drink, and yap about film. But most importantly show these amazing businesses some love in Logan Square ☕️
