Rondo Community Land Trust starts a new venture to support Black entrepreneurship
KSTP, Sept 9, 2023
In St. Paul’s Rondo neighborhood — a celebration and a new beginning on Saturday.
“Come on St. Paul, make some noise!” smiled Mychael Wright, the owner of Golden Thyme Coffee and Cake. “I just want to say thank you to every one of you.”
Wright and his wife Stephanie announced at the Selby Jazz Fest that after running the iconic coffee shop for 24 years, they are retiring.
And that’s not all.
The couple is selling the business to the Rondo Community Land Trust — which connects people to affordable, sustainable housing.
“This is like coming home for me,” says Executive Director Mikeya Griffin. “Really, really excited for the community that I grew up in — and look forward to creating more vibrancy here.”
