In this episode, we sit down with Alexandra “Peedee” Hansen, owner, and operator of Blue Spruce Coffee Truck, a bustling coffee truck that serves the Spearfish South Dakota community and other communities around the Black Hills. Peedee discusses the joy she feels in serving and being a part of a community she cherishes, and what feels special about being a small business owner.

“Pourin' the love” is the Blue Spruce Coffee Truck slogan, and that is exactly what Peedee feels about owning her own business. After spending a few years in sales and marketing, Peedee realized she wanted to be her own boss and own her own business. She loved working in coffee shops in the past and realized it was something that brought her joy. After research and a trip to Kentucky to purchase a truck, Blue Spruce Coffee truck was born.

Peedee also has a love for art and does commission work when she isn’t on her coffee routes. She loves spending time with her husband and three dogs and is passionate about supporting small businesses all around the Black Hills.
