Tori fell in love with Ancora Coffee & Tea when she started working there as a Director of Marketing last year. After a year of service, she seized the opportunity to purchase the Ancora Retail stores and became the owner of the business. All of their coffee is fair-trade organic and roasted locally in Madison. Tori takes on various roles each day, from Lead Barista to General Manager to Marketing Manager, to make sure that the entire operation of Ancora runs smoothly.

If you're ever in Madison, WI, drop by one of their stores at 112 King St. or 2871 University Ave. to try out their delectable coffee and pastries. Aristotle's quote, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore is not an act, but a habit," resonates with Tori's business model, where passion, communication, and an obvious strong love for coffee fuel the business.
