Local coffee company selling at new kiosk in UD’s Trabant University Center

Brandon Jones isn’t just arriving at work when he enters the building at 16 Haines Street in Newark, just steps away from the campus of the University of Delaware.

He’s walking into a time warp.

Jones, a senior majoring in history, bought his first skateboard there at the age of 8 when it was home to Switch Skateboards, a landmark of sorts that occupied the building from 1994 to 2010.

Today, it’s his place of employment, Little Goat Coffee Roasting Co., and he says working there feeds his dreams of one day owning his own small business.

A recent partnership between Little Goat and UD adds another layer of significance for Jones: Little Goat will now be supplying the coffee for a new kiosk in the Trabant University Center’s food court called Stomping Grounds.
