From high school sweethearts to co-owners of Palace Coffee Company, Patrick and Krystal Burns learned how to lean into each other’s strengths in their marriage and in their business. Patrick is the front-facing people person and Krystal helps organize their vision into tangible steps. Both of them view coffee shops as a way to touch many lives and impact their community. So, Palace Coffee Company was born. Now, they help other shop owners evaluate and help their businesses become a success.
