Chris Haun, owner of Thunderegg Coffee Company in Nyssa, celebrated 15 years in business, overcoming significant challenges along the way. Opening during the 2008 economic downturn, Haun faced adversity head-on, focusing on innovative strategies rather than potential pitfalls. When the COVID-19 pandemic threatened closure, he adapted by emphasizing quick, grab-and-go breakfast burritos, which became a major hit, especially during harvest seasons. Haun credits his success to the community's support, his ability to diversify offerings beyond just coffee, and maintaining affordable prices. Thunderegg Coffee also features a deli, beer, and daily specials, ensuring there's something for everyone and demonstrating the resilience and adaptability required to thrive in challenging economic landscapes.
