Purple Brew Coffee House at Bowling Green High School

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – At Bowling Green High School, a new student-run operation is up and running.

Bowling Green Independent School District installed a small coffee house to give students some real-world experience and show them a little behind the scenes of the district’s nutrition program. The district wanted to do something that fit the vibe of the already established commons area in the front of the school where kids can hang out before class to eat breakfast.

The “Purple Brew” opened when school resumed this January, and it’s been a hit ever since. According to coffee house staff, there are people lining up as soon as they open the window at 7:30 a.m.
