A mobile coffee shop in Southeast Iowa started with a dream, a Keurig and a school shifting to a four-day week.
Julie Klett, a special-education teacher at WACO Community School District in Wayland, was intrigued by the idea of teaching only four days a week when she began working for the district seven years ago.
As a teacher, she wanted to help her students with disabilities gain some employment skills, she said. The students started serving coffee to teachers during the school day, using a Keurig to brew the coffee. From there, the makeshift shop grew with students serving coffee at concession stands to staff and students.
