Business Launch Services for Entrepreneurs
Bobby and John
The best part of what we do each day? We help entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses. And even more exciting– getting to see and celebrate in the finished product!
Cheryl and I had the pleasure of working alongside (new) Philly business owners- Bobby Dombrowski and John Farrell while they launched the quirky new coffee shop Strange Brew Coffee in South Philly’s “Pennsport” neighborhood. Serving Fair Trade and Organic coffees by Counter Culture, fine teas by local House of Tea, tasty sandwiches from Le Bus, as well as delicious treats including pastries, granola and muffins, the shop features more than just a great menu. Displayed throughout the cafe, customers can also find a fabulous collection of vinyl toys and art.
Strange Brew Coffee has outdoor as well as indoor seating, wifi access, great music, and local art displayed on the walls. Owner Bobby Dombroski grew up in this neighborhood and now lives around the corner from his new café. According to Bobby, “I believe in bettering the neighborhood you live in. I am combining my passion, coffee brewing experience and fun nature into one shop to provide my community with some delicious coffee and treats.”
Bobby and John exemplify what it is that keeps us going with Entourage. We love that we have the privilege to work alongside people that are working within their passions. They have a clear and realistic vision of what it is they are trying to create and also understand the value of delegation as a means to success.
We were able to support Strange Brew’s launch by:
- Strategic market research and business planning
- Research related to opening and operating a business here in Philadelphia (lots of regulations!)
- Operational product research
- Press Release development and circulation
- Internet marketing and social media support
We’re so proud to have been a part of their launch! To continue the celebration of another entrepreneurial success here in Philly, we are planning to hold our next coworking session at Strange Brew. Come out and work alongside other Philly entreps in the heart of South Philly! Be sure to register via our events page!

Entrepreneur’s Entourage will be hosting our first off-site Coworking & Networking Day in Philadelphia! This month’s will be Thursday, December 10th at Double Shots Coffee, located at 211 Chestnut Street in Old City. We will be there starting at 10am, so drop by anytime, open up your laptop, start a conversation, grab some great coffee or a pastry and get some work done…or at least some good networking done! Maybe we can even convince our favorite Double Shots owner, Steve to make us some fresh gingerbread cookies like he did for us today!
Coworking may be a new concept to you, or coworking may be something you are big fan of and are currently supporting in Philadelphia through jelly sessions or established coworking office spaces. Whether you run a virtual or brick and mortar business, coworking not only provides you with an escape from your office for the day but it also facilitates connections and offers opportunities to think and communicate more creatively about your business, bounce ideas off of other entreps and could even lead to new business!
So, bust out of your lonely office for the morning or afternoon and experience a new type of collaborative work environment; Coworking in Center City Philadelphia!
Please RSVP to let us know you will be joining this fabulous group, and check for any updates on the Entrepreneur’s Entourage website as well! Be sure to leave your comments below with any suggestions or feedback you might have on the event.
All day we will be tweeting and blogging to bring you updates about this coworking and networking day. If you are going to share your comments or posts from the event please use #EECoworking.
