Meet Tim Costello:
Tim worked the country as a stand-up comedian, playing with some big names in some big arenas as well as some smaller names in much smaller venues. Brigid worked as a Detroit Public School teacher, earned her Ph.D, and became a professor at Eastern Michigan University. And we raised a daughter, Julia, who continues to bring joy into our lives.
Beer? In Tim’s travels he often sought out regional craft beers that flew under the radar and were not available in Michigan and brought them home. Sunday nights in the neighborhood (Tenny Street, Dearborn) soon found Brigid and Tim hosting an array of friends looking to share in the beer booty. Within a short amount of time, the same friends started to bring their own treasures to be tasted. Sundays on Tenny Street. Good start to the week.
In 2008, Tim (along with a lot of other people….) was liberated from his supervisory position at a major cable company and the comedy road had hit many potholes. Brigid had been traveling extensively for her job and discovered several little shops she was excited to share with Tim – who would then book whatever comedy performance he could in nearby towns and off we would go. We would spend these trips hatching a plan – Tim would finish the last year of his degree in the Entrepreneurship program at EMU and write our business plan, then after graduation we would cash in Tim’s 401K and open the store. For over a year they honed their plan, right down to knowing that they would be dog friendly and each kid that came into the store would receive a pretzel rod. Doors opened on Friday, October 7th and Tim and Brigid waited with anticipation until the first customer arrived four hours after we hung our “Open” sign.
