A decade on, Perc Coffee keeps grinding
About 10 years ago, musician Philip Brown packed up his family, moved from Athens, Georgia, to Savannah and started Perc Coffee in a 350-square-foot rented space. Now, Perc is arguably the official coffee of the Hostess City.
“One of the greatest things about Savannah is that from the very first day, I had amazing people who found me and were on ‘Team Perc,’” Brown recalls. “There were so many people in this town who bought into our success and helped, whether by buying a bag of coffee or helping me figure out a spreadsheet. Just all kinds of things.”
