Broadwater Coffee opens on west side

“When I opened Broadwater, I put every dime I’d ever earned into building it and making it special. I sacrificed my life-savings, every penny of credit I could find, time, family, kids, and other opportunities in order to bring something special to my neighbors and the people in my hometown. I risked everything and put something inexplicably more than my heart into it,” Heather Kunz wrote. “That doesn’t make me special. It makes me part of a community of people who do that in their own way every day they open their businesses to you. The people in our community are what make this town remarkable. With the additional health restrictions being implemented, many of our friends and neighbors with local businesses are feeling significant impacts. Doors are closing and jobs are being lost. While we are not immune to the ripple effect this has, we all know we have to get through this together. We want to do our part to help Great Falls survive and thrive. That’s why Broadwater is encouraging you to help your hometown.”
