Eddy Sweeney speaks with Andrew MacGregor and Aurynn Jacobs Parkin, the new owners of Dreams of Beans cafe in downtown Peterborough. MacGregor and Parkin discuss:

  • How the two decided to open a business together while working side by side at the One Roof Community Centre
  • Why they're operating as a social enterprise, and what that means
  • Why they've decided to pay employees $25 per hour, but not allow tips
  • What plans they've got for their new business (including getting a liquor license.)
