Phil Zimmerly, owner of Common Grounds on Main Street, relies on simplicity when it comes to business. Sometimes when you go into other coffee shops, like Starbucks, you hear things like grande late and you have to know the lingo to order something Phil said.
"Here, we make it easy to order. It's not complicated and you don't have to know everything about coffee to get what you want," Phil said.
