DENISON, Texas (KTEN) -- Revolution Coffee Company is getting ready to open a shop at the the historic KATY Depot in downtown Denison.

Not only is this a win for the shop, but it shows continued growth for the city's newest hot spot.

“We are so excited to have a lot of new activity down here, and there's a lot of people renting space," said Denison Main Street director Donna Dow.

Coffee shop owner Benjamin Hernandez believes he's fortunate to be in the business where there always seems to be demand, no matter the economic conditions.

“World War I?  Coffee. World War II? Coffee. It was one industry that was never impacted, and for me I was captivated by that," he said.

That theory has been put to the test over the last year

“Through the pandemic, through snowstorms, through another election... just to be able to stand as a voice of reason and compel people to collaborate," Hernandez said.

Revolution Coffee's new home in what was once Denison's railroad station is located four blocks east of its current Main Street outpost, and is designed to bring people of all interests and palates together.

“He will have a draw with his regular customers, and then just the people that work in the depot will also add to that," Dow said.

The depot wasn't Hernandez' first choice for the move until he met with the KATY Depot's developer the and heard his plans.

“He wants a lot of retail and office space downstairs leased, and then put lofts in the upper floors," Dow said.

As tenants move in they're just as excited to come together as their patrons soon will be.

“It's truly like a collective of people who want to succeed and who have overcome the last year," Hernandez said.
