Here at EVOBEAN progress happens daily. From the creation of interactive, artistic renderings to the submission of location proposals, we are all working hard to make the EVOBEAN dream come true. Currently, we are looking for our first Denver location. It is important for us to start out in the city we all live in and in a location that makes sense. Not to mention, we all agree Denver is pretty great too!
So where should the bean evolve?
New Urbanists in particular, are a very progressive, forward-thinking group who “support regional planning for open space, context-appropriate architecture and planning, and the balanced development of jobs and housing. They believe their strategies can reduce traffic congestion, increase the supply of affordable housing, and rein in urban sprawl.” (Source: www.wikipedia.com) Furthermore, New Urbanists focus on green initiatives and the reduction of green house gasses through alternative methods of transportation. “Giving people many choices for living an urban lifestyle in sustainable, convenient and enjoyable places, while providing the solutions to peak oil, global warming, and climate change”. (http://www.newurbanism.org/newurbanism.html). These communities incorporate innovations and ideas such as walk-able urbanism, electric transportation, and renewable energy, just to name a few.
So you see, any of these places could be the perfect home for our prototype kiosks. Granting an opportunity to test innovations and challenge assumptions resulting in insights that will lead the way to our ability to serve amazing coffee in a new and exciting way.
