Jennifer Wills co-founded Jinx Tea with Chris Eilers and his son Sam Eilers. They started with a Tea Truck in 2017 and developed a Brick and Morter location at 45th and France that opened in late May.
While bubble tea is a specialty, Jinx Tea serves a range of carbonated and nitro-infused teas, and a line of non-alcoholic tea cocktails like Woke Punch, a carbonated hibiscus tea. They will also serve hot tea and sell a small selection of loose-leaf teas. Most of the tea is sourced through Verdant Tea in Minneapolis, which works with farmers in China.

Father and daughter pair Ron Rudolph and Kristy Boike never dreamed they would end up selling bluebird houses to find their way through grief. After losing his wife Pat to Breast Cancer, Ron started building bluebird houses as a way to stay busy as he worked through the grief of losing his wife.
