#new beverage concepts for events

[vomitspit2]

concept with jade leech.

as most colleges do, NRC has a weekly newspaper that is run by the student body.

though one would imagine someone as busy as jade leech would never pick it up, he happens to routinely pick it up every monday in the lobby where they are put on display. he reads through all of it, thoroughly and carefully.

there are a multitude of reasons for this: mostro lounge sometimes puts articles in the paper about new menu items (as vice-housewarden, jade always double-checks their formatting); he likes to be alert about the by-and-by at his college (as vice-housewarden, it’s opportunistic to see what events may happen or what poor unfortunate soul might need a little help in the ‘anonymous student grievance’ section); and lastly, he had found himself enthralled by this new running comic strip at the start of his second year.

it seems to be two completely different artists who are running this new newspaper section.

one works in logical fallacies and bizarre humor; the drawings are crude and very sketch-like; jade has found himself biting a smile at some of the satire sprinkled in.

the second works in baroque influences; there is no humor found within it and it is very mature in ornate detail; jade particularly likes a certain strip where a sentient mushroom fuses with a human body, creating something lovecraftian.

though not a fan of ‘manga’ like azul’s fellow club member and ignihyde housewarden and not a good artist like his brother, jade finds himself looking forward to the comic strips on page thirteen at the start of his monday class.

so, when he sits down in his first period, thermos full of pu-erh black tea and a good five minutes left before the bell rings, a frown cross his face when he finds that page thirteen is absent of a certain section.

it’s a bit … odd.

as there are two different artists, should not the other one pick up the slack when the other is out of commission? one person cannot fulfill duties flawlessly. that is why NRC has a system of housewarden and vice-housewarden. by having two artists, one can ensures there is always going to be a weekly comic strip.

while only a bit disgruntled, jade decides to overlook this slip of management, only slightly knocked out of his rhythm in unnoticeable ways.

except next week again, there is no comic strip.

this time is surprising.

that section had done particularly well for getting the newspaper’s revenue up. as the son of a ‘businessman’, jade always notices the little things. the stack in the student lobby has been a bit lower in the past months; something anyone can equate to the new inclusion of this comic strip — more people are buying the product because it has something of new value in it.

they would surely be losing money because of this sectional cut? is the artist sick? why has the other one not taken up the helm?

the third week it happens, jade finds himself momentarily vexed. at lunch, floyd pulls the newspaper out of jade’s binder and asks annoyed, ‘hey why did they cut the comics??’ jade is wondering the same sentiment.

have these two people conspired together to rid him of his morning entertainment? no, that’s an utterly ridiculous notion … but it does not stop jade from being so thoroughly annoyed.

it is not like he needs that particular part of page thirteen. but it feels like something has been stolen from him. it is not often that he finds a person who shares his love for surrealist humor and surrealist horror. the loss gnaws at him.

on the third monday, clocking into his night shift at the mostro lounge, jade finds you — the ramshackle prefect — biting the straw of your drink to death, not an inch of the foaming drink drunk. you seem to be very enthralled with a piece of paper. but much like how you have not drank your beverage, the paper is blank and there is nothing to be enthralled with. always the observer, jade thinks you look … empty.

it is not jade’s most favored expression on you, but he still likes viewing each part of you — much like observing the value scale! one needs to understand each part of it or the jump in tones with leave to an ugly, incorrectly shaded artwork.

however, before he can make his way over to you, jade watches as you crumple up the paper and slam down a thaumark for a beverage you did not drink and storm out of mostro lounge like someone has just personally insulted you and you’re making a swift escape.

though it is not the table he is charge of waiting, jade picks up the cash all the same and clears the table of your existence. he takes a sip from your bitten straw. runs his ungloved hand over the plush leather of your booth just to feel the warmth of where you sat. yet, as he slipping the glove back on his hand and setting down your drink, something in the discord of empty papers happens to catch his attention.

having already snooped around in your business before — sometimes you have caught him, other times you have not — jade feels no guilt in picking up the piece of paper. his eyes widen comically when he takes in the sight of that baroque-influenced artwork (this piece depicts a sleep paralysis demon with furry hands and crowning horns) paired right next to crude, sketch-like figure (a man with only nine simple circles to make up his body).

well, now he knows who to hassle.

◆↬ jaide e. stone ; profile↫◆

[ pre i/ii - rgb arc - aged 0-18] (may change)

◆↬ jaide is a self-taught aprijuice merchant. she started when she was quite young - she liked to collect apricorns with her teddiursa and was quite fond of roller-skating to maximize the apriblender's juicing proficiency.

◆↬ she picked up on this trade when her mother introduced this concept to her which was still new at the time, and enjoyed this as a hobby before turning it into a profession

◆↬her childhood companions consisted of; teddiursa, hoppip, and ralts (all evolved as years go by). she is strictly not a trainer, but has practiced basic pokemon battle conduct

◆↬ jaide is an older sister to a sibling named gold, with an age gap of 8 years.

◆↬as kids, they were an interesting duo. while they were quite the tough kids, they have their own styles in projecting it (his actions / her words). gold took an interest in skateboarding to copy her roller-skating tendencies

◆↬she wasn't exactly the same as her adult counterpart. she was a little rough around the edges and sometimes played hard with her words. she isn't the type to fight, but she knew how to get around people older than her and she was rarely afraid. she was fast, charismatic and somewhat smug

◆↬ jaide was gifted with an interesting skill to be able to read other pokemon's natures, almost psychic-like thanks to her kirlia who was able to steer her guesses in the right path. this would later be very useful when aprijuice would be popular in the pokeathalon games in allowing pokemon improve their performance in the multitude of sports*

*(this is aligned with the game mechanic where several drinks have different results with consideration on the nature of the pokemon drinking it and flavor of the drink)

◆↬most people buy her drinks because it actually refreshes the pokemon - but what customers don't know is the underlying magic it does when you mix the right flavor with the right nature/personality of pokemon. that's what fascinates her the most. this can only be achieved because of her good perception of pokemon natures.

◆↬jaide wanted to make it a point that her aprijuice business would expand beyond johto - her personal reason being to introduce the beauty of it. she sees aprijuice production as an intricate way to create natural beverages (and not artificial) for pokemon. (which admittedly, is a commonplace in johto. i.e: kurt and his pokeball production)

[ gsc - oras arc - aged 19-25+ ] (most present frame)

◆↬jaide becomes more mild and calm in her personality due to maturity and events that occured in gsc, though she still retained the cheeky personality but it would be more sly and vague. and being a mom. of course /lh

◆↬meeting steven was definitely a curveball thrown at her direction because he's one of the rare people who can see through her cheeky facade. it's common for them to have interesting back and fourth that either sounded smart or really flirty. only they know really.

◆↬after officially being renamed to his family name, she treats aprijuice making as a hobby instead, she passes her knowledge to ruby and this helped him indulge in making pokeblocks. while it's hoenn's equivalent to her juice, she doesn't mind it as long as he's learning something.

trivia ;

- her pokemon team consists of: (old to recently joined)

gardevoir, ursaring, jumpluff, glaceon (previously eevee), solrock, aron

- it's a bit of a running gag with new bark town's population that jaide and gold are the kids with the worst natural bed hair /lh (it's just like that)

- jaide and gold loved to skate together in the national park as kids

- the e. in her maiden name is evergreen

- goldenrod city her favorite landmark since it's the most modernized section of johto. definitely likes shopping there

- jaide doesn't skate anymore, but if she were in a floor of ice, (usually caused by her glaceon), she probably would skate a little. just for old time's sake.

- jaide has met all the johto and hoenn dexholders + only red from kanto. (mt silver incident) she has never personally seen blue, green and yellow but only through others' accounts of them

- she is right-handed.

- semi-canon statement, if she had a mega stone, it would be attached to the back of her necklace

- she supports fran.ticshipping :]]] (she also emotionally supports sapphire as she's not really good at expressing herself without being wild)

- dislikes zinnia. that's it /lh

- in my head, i imagine she's currently living in hoenn but she occasionally visits johto when she can just to see her mother and gold

It's an end-of-the-year recap!!!! And what a year it has been! Thank you, @fellowshipofthefics, for putting together this wonderful recap list! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the people who have supported me on my writing journey this past year. The Bagginshield fandom has been a haven filled with some of the kindest and most talented people I have had the pleasure of getting to know.

I look forward to another year with all of you.

Let's begin!

~~~~

What is something new you tried with your writing this year?

This was my first year as a fic writer, so everything was something new! I was really focused on building the "voice" of my writing, and I think I did that.

Did you participate in any fandom events?

Oh yes. I did the Thorin Spring Forge (TSF), Kinktober, and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Collaboration (THAUC). I also did about half a dozen drabble events and fotfics monthly events.

What's been your favorite project to work on?

There were not many, but I think for me my favorite was the TSF event. It was a big chance to produce my first ever long-format fic, and the reception it got was more than I could have imagined. You Should Be Safe With Me now sits as my highest kudo's fic.

What was the hardest project to work on?

Sparks & Gardens, for sure. The story is one I'm in love with, but bringing it to life in a way that does it justice can be a struggle sometimes. A struggle I enjoy, oddly enough.

Did you start any projects?

Too many.

Did you finish any projects?

I did! Happy Accidents is a completed Modern AU trilogy.

How many WIPS do you have now?

Four (two posted to AO3)

Share your favorite scene/line!

In chapter three of You Should Be Safe With Me, Thorin busts into Bard's house because he thinks harm is befalling Bilbo. I love how gentle and soft Thorin is when helping Bilbo in that scene.

Share your favorite story title!

I'm very fond of Not Yours To Touch. It took me forever to name that fic!

What does your writing system look like? (i.e. brainstorming, writing, editing - how do you do it?)

Usually, it starts with a scene I like or a general concept. Then, I daydream about it a little and determine if it's a one-shot idea or a long-format idea. One shot, I start writing and see where the idea takes me. Long format I start jotting down ideas in bullet form until I have a really rough outline. Then, I flesh that out until I have a plot. When I have a series of events in order, I want them to happen with maybe a few vague details I start writing. I pause and reread/ rough edit after every chapter and check that my continuity is still good. When it's all done, I ignore it for a few days and re-read it again, then edit. Then it's off to my lovely beta reader, who edits and tells me if something doesn't make sense. Once I get that stamp of approval, I post.

What's the best atmosphere for you to write?

Left alone and quiet

Any particular snacks or drinks while writing?

I'm a beverage girly. I have water, coffee, and some fruit near me at all times. I don't normally snack and write. Most of the time, if I'm writing, I've forgotten to eat.

Do you form playlists/soundtracks for your stories? Or even just for your "writing time"?

Playlist, not really. As I said above, I prefer absolute silence when I write. I do have Pinterest boards for all my WIP's, however.

What advice would you give to a new writer?

You're going to have to be bad at it before you become good at it. So be bad at it and enjoy the process.

What are some goals you have for 2024?

Finish Sparks and Gardens. Finish reputation be damned, and if I'm really lucky, debut my Biker Gang AU. But really just to have fun.

Last but not least, General stats

Words posted to AO3 this year: 191,187

Fics posted to AO3: 22 (all but one was Bagginshield)

Current active WIP's: 2

I can't wait to see what 2024 brings, and I couldn't have done this without you.

[sealofarchives]

Some au ideas for fun while I wait on requests

Note: I'm also involving some of my rottmnt ocs in all of these so I don't care about people who whine about oc x canon lol.

And hooo boy if you can read through all of this, treat your self to a cool beverage or treat because I accidentally put a lot of info ; v ;

Magical Girl Theme

A/N: During the early days when the series was in its season 1, I accidentally made cool lore for my rottmnt ocs and created some small scenarios for them in their toyhouse info. And it eventually influence some stuff for my original worldbuilding but, I still have rottmnt rotbrain because this iteration really inspired me despite its series' current status.

Timeline: A few days taking place after the Donnie's Gifts episode. April heard rumors of an abandoned metro where some girls and women travel through a sparkling subway train. And most of the footage is something close to your typical magical girl transformations and blurry fight scenes. She saves Joyce, a jellyfish mermaid themed magical girl, who is unfortunately recovering from a month by an oozesquito bite. But, accidentally interrupts the training. Luckily the mentor supervising Joyce saw April as a new friend to her. And offered the idea if April was comfortable being another magical girl in training. However, April rejected the offer. (being busy with stuff that happened in canon.) A few months pass, and the two met friends with another oozesquito victim. Laverne, a leatherback sea turtle mutant, who was intended to be Joyce's rival and a witch that passed with flying colors. Who also has a cloaking charm like Sunita.

Timeline Continued (Because it would have been one long paragraph orz): Sometime after April gets her mystic bat from that one Witch Town episode. She starts to reflect on it more and fully decides to try the magical girl gig as a part time job. Also thanks toJoyce and Laverne cheering her on. And the two who became best buddies with the rest of the turtles. Despite a certain purple turtle's distaste for all things magic related. She still visits [tbn magical girl themed metro] after defeating the Krang in the from the movie. Since she's currently busy with college and stuff.

Slightly theming her outfit based off of Mayhem. And the possible super powerful form from an outfit Karai gave to her. And I still adore the heart afro doodles from a concept art from that same WT episode so I'm gonna try to add that as well!

Sunita and Cassandra eventually tag along and girl's night shenanigans are more chaotic then ever.

The turtles are mainly supporting characters however Donnie secretly works part time at [tbn mg metro] after the events of defeating the Krang. He previously helped to make a magical tech bracelet that manages stress and other healthy coping habits for Joyce. She struggled to control her electric powers and 'this whole situation' until nearing the end of season 1. This and the events of WT episode sort of changed his approach to mystic powers. Especially with how he developed ninpo after defeating the Shredder and still has a lot learn despite Leo's safe return from trapping the Krang back into the prison dimension.

Two sentence summary: I slowly saw this iteration of April as a magical girl and with how I did that same theme for my two main rottmnt ocs so... She's gonna be one in this au because I want her to have more fun and it balances out the bad luck she usually has in canon!

2. Dredge (that one eldritch fishing game)

A/N: My renewed interest in the upcoming iron rig dlc and I saw a bit of a few others' perspective with this game and making a rise!au with it. But, I tend to be more about light hearted stuff. However, some of the eldritch theme is still there. Just in a different context.

Some minor spoilers to the game's areas and mention of the enemies there

However, its the guys being the fishermen and April working along side the traveling merchant npc.

I'm still using cloaking brooches because the turtles and Splinter are still slightly cursed to be mutants. As result of some previous Hamato clan family members following the hooded figures' teachings.

Joyce, formerly a human, who wanted to seek revenge at the stellar basin's eldritch creature. That killed her dad on a dredging trip, he was forced to go because of dumb family members' overconfidence. Strongly believing that they can kill the beast for fame and fortune.

She dies but, still full of rage before jelly bombs overwhelm her. She reincarnates as a parhelion jellyfish mutant mermaid with no recollection of her past.

Leo got a little bored being stuck with solo night fishing (mainly trawling duty) and thought it would be a good idea to go fast. Hoping to beat Donnie with at least one aberration he hasn't found yet.

He did get one but, heard a deep growls from large trawl net. That caused a few ripples passing by the boat. Met with eyes that glared back at him. On the verge of baring her fangs and full intent to drag him down to the basin abyssal depths. Should he be bold enough to attempt to cut the heavy duty trawl net. To ensure she's in safe hands and he has no intention on hurting her.

Cut to Splinter being tired of his sons, arguing over mermaid curses and other similar superstitions.

While Splinter tries to apologize, Joyce gets a brief headache with a vision from the past. That lasts for a few seconds and shows he and her dad stayed best friends after parting ways from Gale Cliffs. She slightly softens her gaze and eats the meal Mikey prepared for her before diving back into the sea.

Eventually, Joyce slowly becomes smitten by Leo's goofy yet thoughtful attitude towards her.

Donnie manages to make a necklace that acts as a telepathic translator from a few spare research parts. That's also waterproof so that she can finally speak clearly. He still taught her how to sign and write before the device was fully completed.

Raph and Leo are mostly likely to do night fishing but, at the cost of a heavy fine of the damaged turtle boat. Struggling to keep afloat that makes Donnie fake cry a lot.

Mikey accidentally befriends a wandering hooded figure (Laverne, under her hood has additional four eyes, as a result of eating aberration fish and became a leatherback sea turtle mutant)

She doesn't speak in the same manner as the other hooded figures or want specific fish. But, just in more simple questions like "Have you met other people who dressed like me?" and "What was it like exploring the areas around them? " (And gave him a book that helped with a 10% increase towards more trawling exclusive fish)

His brothers used to be wary of her until she was fully fitted to check out the pale reach region. With her own fishing wader and learning the layout of the area ahead of time to assist Mikey on the journey.

She only eats a few aberrations because she had dreams of timelines of a different version of herself in a much happy environment. She's slightly envious of that but, doesn't regret living at the present with how lively Mikey and his family are.

April is another traveling merchant who just got her license. And knew the turtle fam as childhood friends. Still acts like the oldest sister to them. She likes fishing trips around Twisted Strand And Devil's Spine. She also keeps the aberration fishing equipment and still a bit of a thrill seeker during night fishing. However, knows when to stop after seeing those crows stealing a supply of fish in her or the turtle's boat. And other high panic enemies that appear out of nowhere.

One sentence summary: Making my rottmnt ocs go through the eldritch horror and dread but, the turtle fam are very nice so its worth it to keep living for them.

3. Dave the Diver

A/N: Sort of the same deal with dredge but I already finished the crossover dlc to 100% (still haven't finished the kaiju codex) but, despite some bad boss fights. I still had a good time with it.

Some minor spoilers about the main game

The restaurant already went through repairs from an plot story earthquake

Bancho Sushi gets hits a turtle shaped aquatic vehicle when the trio attempt to park the boat in place. With the turtle tank causing significant damage after the recent repairs.

Donnie's silently fuming while Raph apologizes for the mess.

Dave doesn't get mad at them and allows the turtles to dive and help with the sushi business. Only one of them will usually tag along with him because he doesn't like the thought of putting all those kids in danger.

The turtles have one good perk but, at the cost of something bad.

- Raph: can carry more stuff but, the harpoon gun does 5% less damage (even when fully graded it still affects it)

- Leo: can easily get away from annoying aggressive enemies but, oxygen goes away even faster at around 5%

- Donnie: can make any random consumable from Cobra's shop but, takes 5% more damage

- Mikey: can get 3 ingredients from cooking posts but, only prefers using tranquilizer weapons or the steel net gun

Leo used to help Senor Hueso during closing time as extra help to clean up. So some of that experience is paying off. He's usually best at serving than cooking. His special skills are cleaning master and irresistible charm because he's the face man.

Raph feels a bit intimidated by the small space and frequently apologized to the other staff members he accidentally bumps into. And felt more comfortable getting ingredients and managing the farm and its fish counterpart along side Donnie or Mikey. His special skills are tip master and dispatch master.

Mikey doesn't really find Bancho that intimidating and very excited to work with him. He also becomes fast friends with Dave and Maki. He's slightly decent at serving along with dispatch but, excels at cooking. His special skills are cooking++ and ingredient prep expert.

Donnie prefers diving for ingredients or supplies scattered around the Blue Hole. He's very neutral towards Duff but, very much in awe at enhancing weapons to their full potential. Including keeping track of the idiver upgrades and other apps on him at all times. However, he eventually warmed up to managing the fish farm and cooking along side with Mikey. Sometimes glaring at customers who leave dirty dishes *cough* party event guests *cough*. His specials skills are ingredient prep expert and drink serving.

April accidentally applies for a staff job right after Yoshie reports in for the new staff along side Kyoko (who's the first staff member you get in game but, this ain't about her.) I'm gonna go off topic but, she's gonna be the best one in terms of serving and dispatch. (given how terrible her luck as been in the show) And she gets the same special skills as El Nino: drinking serving master and cleaning master. Because canonically she has more job experience compared to the turtles.

Joyce and Laverne are sea people bored of the village life. And grew curious about Dave and the turtles who saved Ramo's life from one of the bosses. They sneak out on a multiple of times and just chill with the three turtles who aren't exploring with Dave. Also don't do that tedious build the trust side quest shit and they already hate Suwam's cowardly attitude. Laverne and Donnie are currently testing in secret of a portal system that would help with night time diving. Joyce sometimes delivers Mima's dumplings to Tsuchi. And eventually does the same for the turtles and Dave. (mostly in the medium depths or midway into the shallows territory because she heard of the one pink dolphin who got trapped in a trawling net. And only feels safe traveling with Laverne, Dave, or any of the turtles escorting her. Luckily she brings spare shells that carry oxygen. so its not that annoying compared to most escort missions) (The portal system is great but its so tedious climbing up BH Depths then to BH Medium Depth and finally BH Shallows. idk let me have this lol)

A few sentences summary: idk Dona who happens to be a leatherback sea turtle has a funny reference to the ninja turtles from a text box choices. I'm expanding that further with my favorite iteration of the ninja turtles. So its definitely more goofy compared to the other two aus on here.

You are cordially invited. Held on February 2nd, 2002.

⸻ 고구마 라떼 ; korean honey sweet potato pureed with milk and steamed, topped with a creamy layer of sweet foam, a sprinkle of candied walnuts, and a dusting of cinnamon; caffeine free

⸻ 붕어빵 ; simple carp bread filled with a smooth vanilla custard with a sweet red bean paste swirl; served warm.

Lee Hyunsoo experiences an undeniable excitement on his birthday. He is thankful to be alive—grateful for having another day to feel the earth beneath his feet. ( And he knows years ago he wished he could not. ) He always smiles when the clock turns to midnight; just enough to put the small dimple by the corner of his mouth on display. With each year he grows older, he feels his fingers claw the dirt overhead away. He reaches for freedom.

But he pauses in his jubilation when he follows his manager into the filming location. Cameras point at him, draw his vision to the pristine marble countertop in the middle of the kitchen. He offers a stiff bow to both the baker and the barista, hiding his briefly nervous expression with the dipping of his head.

"Hello, everyone," he croaks out alongside a nervous chuckle. He keeps his hands at his sides and shuffles to stand at the marker on the floor. "I am here today to make a nice menu for those of you who are graciously giving me your support this whole time!" The concept of having fans in the first place goes well beyond his capable comprehension. He understands how, but fails to grasp the true reason why.

"Instead of trying to... come up with something new, I would like to share two items that bring me the most comfort, especially during this time of year," placing hands behind his back, he offers a serene smile to the camera. "I think that simple is best."

That is not without saying there will be a touch more flair to it—his own little twist that adds more of a hint of his ideas.

He starts things off with the beverage. He opts for a drink that would be free of any caffeine but taste just as smooth as a standard latte. It is a bit of a staple to his winter days.

"Goguma lattes have become a bit popular. They have a unique, comforting taste and it really does taste like biting into a freshly grilled sweet potato," even now, his mouth waters at the thought. "For this one, we decided to use a honey sweet potato for a richer taste. It will be pureed and steamed with milk. Then, when it's all prepared, it will be topped with a thin layer of sweet foam with a sprinkle of cinnamon and candied walnuts!"

After moving aside for the barista to allow her to show off the finished product. He would take a sip later when it cools off a bit more.

"Next is something I consider to be my favorite food... bungeoppang!" His stomach rumbles at the thought, the smell of the batter cooking. He covers it up with a tepid clap. "It is incredibly versatile. For this option, my favorite filling flavor, vanilla custard, will be mixed with an extra smooth sweet red bean paste. When you bite into it, it will be very satisfying and rich. I guarantee leaving the birthday cafe will have you feeling full!"

A nervous laugh escapes him as he drifts closer to the chef. It's notable that his eyes are intense watching him pry one of the fish shaped breads from the press. He can only stand still while he pulls it apart, greeted with the pillowy shell. When offered a piece, he rather enthusiastically grabs for it and takes a bite. His eyes brighten, and he nearly forgoes his calm composure.

Hyunsoo has gotten lost in the moment. He clears his throat and turns back to his task at hand before giving a polite bow.

"Thank you for being with me up until now. For everyone who is supporting me and graciously celebrating my birthday, if you do decide to attend the event, make sure you are safe and to have fun. Um..." His eyes drift to the items. "Please enjoy the items I picked out! I hope you will be able to have this be a nice memory like I will."

And with that, he offers a wave to the camera.

"Thank you for loving me."

Located on Northwest 23rd, one of Portland’s premier shopping streets, Snow Peak’s USA Flagship and Headquarters will open alongside other high-quality brands like Arcteryx, Restoration Hardware and Williams Sonoma, as well as local favorites like legendary ice cream shop Salt & Straw. Northwest 23rd is nestled beneath Portland’s West Hills and Forest Park, with easy access to nature and everything the city’s downtown has to offer.

Dwelling in Nature 

Designed in partnership with the legendary Portland firm Skylab Architecture, one guiding design principle of the new space has been “Dwell Outside.” The flagship will evoke the feelings of slowing down to gather in nature, though translated for a largely indoor environment.  Design details throughout the interior will represent Snow Peak’s Japanese origins as well as its connection with the Pacific Northwest. 

As guests descend the entryway stairs, the dark flooring will bring to mind stepping down onto the earth. When ascending to the mezzanine level, they will pass an installation exploring Snow Peak’s history. With bright natural light, open space and glass walls, the upper level of the flagship invokes the clouds and sky. Throughout the entire space, there will be ample light from floor-to-ceiling windows, calming greenery and warm, wooden accents inspired by traditional Japanese timbering. 

The second floor will house Snow Peak’s US headquarters and a flexible event space to hold classes, presentations, community organizations and more.  Matt Liddle, COO at Snow Peak USA, said that while the store will be the most compelling presentation of Snow Peak gear and apparel in North America, the space is designed for people as much as it is for product. 

“Snow Peak’s new space on NW 23rd is so much more than a retail location. It’s truly a community space for people to gather, enjoy a drink or share a meal, play with our products or simply relax by a fire. That’s the core of the Snow Peak outdoor ethos, and we’re delighted to bring it to life in the heart of Portland.”

A Snow Peak Playground

The 14,000 square foot interior offers ample space for Snow Peak customers to experience and enjoy products in new ways. The mezzanine level will have an area for tent and tarp demonstrations and set-up. The ground floor will feature a dedicated space to experiment with different configurations of the Iron Grill Table, Snow Peak’s iconic modular outdoor kitchen. With expert guidance from the Snow Peak team, visitors to the store can bring their dream camp set-up to life.

In line with its values of encouraging time in nature, the Snow Peak USA Flagship will have 1800 square feet of outdoor space. Framed by lush foliage, it will offer an immersive natural experience and is partially covered to enable year-round usage. Guests will be able to savor a meal outside, or simply enjoy Takibi Time with a cold beverage in hand.   PNW Flavor, the Snow Peak Way

Snow Peak has always emphasized the importance of bringing people together around a fire to share a meal. As a reflection of this tenet, the flagship’s restaurant and bar will feature an open hearth and kitchen concept allowing guests to connect with the cooking process. The restaurant will serve Japanese-inspired dishes melded with a Pacific Northwest flavor, driven by a robust supply chain of locally sourced ingredients - both farmed and wild-foraged. Local Partners and Materials

Snow Peak has long been known as a design brand with a preference for local craftsmanship.   Accordingly, Snow Peak USA is partnering with local artisans to infuse local culture into the new flagship. PNW artist Shogo Ota will be creating an illustrated mural based off a historic image of Snow Peak’s founder, Yukio Yamai. The large piece of artwork will greet guests as they enter and serve as a focal point for the space.

Snow Peak is also partnering with the Portland Garment Factory, a locally-owned, zero-waste fabrication and design studio. The Portland Garment Factory is creating a cloud-inspired fabric and light installation in the core stairwell of the building utilizing Japanese textiles.

In an effort to reuse materials, the interior will feature reclaimed beams from a condemned warehouse in Portland’s Sellwood neighborhood. Made of 100-year-old Douglas Fir, the beams will be re-milled and incorporated into customer touchpoint areas throughout the retail space, a nod to Snow Peak’s connection with the Pacific Northwest. 

Fueling Snow Peak’s Growth

Construction on the building began in October 2019, and Snow Peak’s USA Flagship and Headquarters will be opening in the Spring of 2020. Tohru Yamai, CEO of Snow Peak said the flagship signifies a new era for the company.

“Snow Peak’s flagship store on NW 23rd Avenue will ignite the company’s expansion across the US. We’re deeply committed to spreading Snow Peak’s mission of gathering people and creating opportunities for them to embrace their nature.

Perfect Timing: When to Open Your Next Café and What to Consider

Opening a new café is a bold and exciting move, but success hinges on where and how you launch it and on when. The timing of your café’s opening can impact everything from initial customer buzz to long-term profitability. While passion and planning are essential, so is recognizing the right moment to enter the market. Economic trends, seasonal shifts, personal readiness, and market saturation play crucial roles in the decision-making process. Understanding these key factors can help you launch at a time when your café has the best chance to thrive.

Understanding Market Trends and Consumer Behavior

Understanding broader market trends is one of the first steps in determining the right time to open your next café. Consumer preferences in the food and beverage industry are constantly evolving. Health-conscious menus, specialty coffee, vegan-friendly options, and sustainable practices are in high demand. Knowing what the market craves—and when those cravings peak—can help you position your café strategically.

Analyze whether there is growing demand in your chosen location. Are more people working remotely and looking for places to work outside their homes? Are younger professionals moving into the area, bringing a desire for curated café experiences? Are lifestyle shifts creating a need for cozy community spots? Recognizing these behavioral trends will help you better anticipate the ideal opening moment.

You should also keep a close eye on local competitors. Are new cafés popping up quickly? Or is there an underserved need for more variety and better quality? Timing your opening to align with rising demand while avoiding oversaturated markets gives you a firmer footing from day one.

Seasonality and Launch Timing

The season you open your café can dramatically affect your initial success. Each season brings different advantages and challenges depending on your concept, location, and audience. Spring and early fall are often ideal for launching because the weather is pleasant, people are more active, and foot traffic tends to increase.

Customers are eager to get outdoors in spring after winter, and your café can attract foot traffic with outdoor seating or special spring-themed promotions. Similarly, fall brings cooler temperatures that encourage warm drinks and cozy atmospheres—perfect for drawing people into your space.

Summer can be hit or miss. While tourists may bring in high traffic, locals often leave town for vacations, and extreme heat can deter long coffee breaks unless your café offers cool refreshments and air conditioning. Winter, though quieter, can be effective for a soft launch, giving you time to build a brand presence before peak seasons return.

Also, consider aligning your grand opening with local events, college semesters, or holiday periods. These calendar moments help maximize exposure and draw crowds, especially if you plan strategic marketing and partnerships with community groups or vendors.

Financial Readiness and Cash Flow Planning

No matter how good your idea is, financial readiness determines whether your launch will succeed or stall. Before you even think about opening your next café, ensuring that your finances are solid for setup and ongoing operations is critical. Starting a café involves leasing, build-out costs, furniture, kitchen equipment, initial inventory, staff salaries, licenses, and marketing.

A wise strategy is to secure funding for the grand opening and at least 6–12 months of operations, including rent, payroll, and supply costs. This buffer gives your café time to develop a steady customer base without financial strain. Relying on fast profits from day one can lead to frustration and poor decision-making under pressure.

You should also evaluate local economic conditions and inflation. Are ingredient and supply prices rising? Is consumer spending shrinking or growing? Entering the market during economic uncertainty may not be ideal unless you have a clear plan for managing costs and attracting value-driven customers.

Additionally, banks or investors will be more willing to support your venture if you show a comprehensive business plan and proof of financial discipline. This is especially crucial if your next café is a second or third location in an expanding business model.

Personal and Team Readiness

Sometimes, the deciding factor isn’t the market or the season—you and your team. Even the most perfect business opportunity can go sideways if the people behind it aren’t ready. Before opening a new café, assess whether you have the energy, time, and resources to commit fully. Are you spread too thin between existing ventures? Do you have a reliable team to help operate or manage multiple locations?

Staffing is another major issue. Hiring and training the right employees takes time. Opening with a well-prepared, enthusiastic team will leave a lasting impression on customers and establish a standard for operations. If your team is still in transition or needs further training, waiting until everyone is aligned with your vision may be better.

You should also consider your personal life circumstances. Starting a new café can be incredibly demanding. If you’re juggling other high-stress responsibilities, opening at that moment may impact the café’s success and your well-being. Waiting a few months until you can give the project your complete focus might be the wiser choice.

External Events and Community Pulse

Your community's social, political, and economic pulse and the world at large can significantly affect timing. For instance, launching during a public health crisis, economic downturn, or natural disaster could put your café at risk, regardless of how prepared you are.

On the other hand, some external events create opportunities. Urban revitalization projects, local festivals, or community initiatives may signal that a neighborhood is rising and ready to support new businesses. Watch for signals of positive growth—new residential developments, increasing tourism, or changing demographics—that suggest a window of opportunity is opening.

Also, consider timing about other local business openings or closures. If a popular café recently shut down, the neighborhood may be eager for a new gathering space. If a new grocery store or shopping center opens nearby, your café might benefit from the increased traffic. Being part of the community conversation and understanding local sentiment will help you time your opening to meet real needs.

Opening your next café isn’t just about having the right recipe or a cool concept—it’s about opening at the right moment. Understanding when to launch involves aligning your vision with customer behavior, seasonal trends, financial stability, and local conditions. Rushing into the market without preparation can lead to early setbacks, and waiting too long might mean missed opportunities.

Take the time to assess your readiness, evaluate your market, and think strategically. When the timing is right, everything else—from your menu to your marketing—has a better chance of landing with impact. Ultimately, the best time to open your café is when preparation meets opportunity. And when that happens, you won’t just open a café—you’ll start something truly memorable.

This mixed-use development is rapidly becoming one of Frisco’s most beloved residential, office and hotel communities. You read that right. This is an all-inclusive approach to life, work and resort-style living and it is globally recognized as a pioneering effort in urban living and planning. Frisco Stations features next-gen conveniences and connectivity and even includes one of the world’s first “vertiports” designed to support unmanned aerial vehicles such as personal drones.  Dickie’s Arena in Fort Worth This voter-approved multipurpose arena is adjacent to the Will Rogers Memorial Center campus in Fort Worth. It is a favorite when it comes to new attractions in DFW. Dickie’s Arena is a 14,000-seater that plays host to a number of exciting events including concerts, stock show rodeos, sports and more. Here you will find entertainment that can only be described as something for everyone.  Family friendly events populate the arena schedule but there are a host of functions for adults as well. If you’re hungry Dickie’s also features its own in-house food and beverage menu which, according to their site, allows the arena cooking staff to create fresher menus with fresher ingredients every day.  Grand Park in East Dallas Grand Park is also known as Samuell Grand Recreation Center and it is heavy with features and events. This 900-acre spread features an amphitheater, golf course and driving range as well as a soccer field, baseball field, tennis courts, playground, pool and so much more.  The Cove Aquatic Center at Grand Park is also a big family draw, especially during the summer months. This impressive water park also features a climbing wall, picnic tables and a toddler pool. Grand Park is named for the street where it is located but clearly it is “grand” in its own right.  Legoland Discovery Center in Grapevine The Legoland Discovery in Grapevine is one of the best new attractions in DFW.

What’s Driving the Tumblers Market? A Deep Dive into Global Demand

The global tumblers market is undergoing a transformation fueled by changing lifestyles, sustainability trends, and innovation. Valued at US$ 1.0 billion in 2023, the market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% between 2024 and 2032, reaching US$ 1.6 billion by the end of the forecast period. This steady rise reflects the increasing consumer shift toward eco-friendly solutions and multifunctional lifestyle products.

Outdoor Activities Driving Market Expansion

One of the leading forces behind this market growth is the surge in outdoor recreational activities. Whether it's weekend camping, hiking, road-tripping, or sports events, consumers are spending more time outdoors and looking for durable, reliable drinkware. Tumblers, with their insulating properties and portability, have become essential accessories for these occasions.

In North America alone, a 2022 report by the North American Camping Club found that 40% of leisure travel trips involve camping, and 36% of individuals go camping at least once annually. This love for outdoor activities is mirrored in other regions too, especially as urban dwellers seek breaks from busy routines. In these scenarios, tumblers serve not just as containers but as companions—keeping drinks hot or cold for hours, with minimal environmental impact.

Beverage Trends and Health-Conscious Living

The shift toward healthier lifestyles is also playing a significant role. More consumers are preparing beverages like smoothies, herbal teas, or cold-brew coffee at home and carrying them in tumblers. Not only does this provide control over ingredients, but it also avoids the need for single-use plastic cups.

Global beverage habits are evolving. The rise of on-the-go coffee culture and quick-service restaurants (QSRs) such as Starbucks, which now has over 35,700 stores worldwide, further emphasizes the importance of reusable drinkware. Starbucks has even popularized the concept of personalized tumblers with customers’ names, turning utility into a status symbol.

Consumers also appreciate the hygiene and safety benefits of using their own tumblers, especially in a post-pandemic world where public health awareness has increased. Tumblers offer a sealed and contamination-free solution, making them ideal for work, school, travel, and gym use.

Sustainability and Environmental Awareness

Tumblers align perfectly with the growing global movement toward sustainability. As governments and consumers turn against single-use plastics, reusable drinkware has become a symbol of eco-conscious living. Tumblers help reduce plastic waste and support the broader goals of carbon neutrality and environmental preservation.

Manufacturers are capitalizing on this trend by investing in research and development, aiming to create tumblers using biodegradable, recyclable, and toxin-free materials. The focus is not just on durability, but also on creating products that reflect ethical manufacturing and environmentally responsible choices.

Innovation in Materials and Design

Today’s consumers demand more than just function—they want form, comfort, and customization. Leading brands are innovating with insulated stainless steel, BPA-free plastics, and lightweight glass options. New designs now prioritize ergonomics, leak-proof lids, and smart features such as temperature tracking or Bluetooth connectivity.

In January 2024, Starbucks India launched a limited-edition line of lifestyle drinkware, a move reflecting how tumblers are becoming fashion-forward items. These personalized tumblers are as much about aesthetics as they are about performance, opening up new market segments among millennials and Gen Z consumers.

Regional Outlook: Asia Pacific Takes the Lead

Among all regions, Asia Pacific dominated the tumblers market in 2023. Rising disposable incomes, expanding urban populations, and increasing QSR penetration have created a fertile environment for market growth. Consumers in countries like India, China, and Japan are adopting tumblers as part of their daily routines.

Cultural emphasis on personalization and premium quality in this region is pushing brands to develop exclusive collections with unique designs, color schemes, and features that cater to local tastes. The Asia Pacific region not only offers volume but also the most diverse and dynamic customer base in the market.

Key Players and Competitive Landscape

The global tumblers market is highly competitive, with key players adopting strategies such as product launches, partnerships, and acquisitions to gain a stronger foothold. Prominent brands include:

Tupperware Brands Corporation

Yeti Coolers, LLC

Hydro Flask

Thermos, LLC

Klean Kanteen, Inc.

CamelBak Products, LLC

These companies are innovating constantly—offering everything from rugged, outdoor-ready steel tumblers to sleek, office-friendly designs. The race is on not only to capture market share but also to shape consumer behavior and brand loyalty.

Conclusion: A Market on the Move

The tumblers market is evolving from a niche to a mainstream sector driven by powerful trends: sustainability, personalization, lifestyle mobility, and innovation. With a promising CAGR of 4.7% through 2032, and demand rising across continents, tumblers are more than just drinkware—they're lifestyle choices, fashion accessories, and eco-statements. As outdoor adventures grow, beverage preferences shift, and consumers continue to seek sustainable options, the tumbler market is well-positioned to keep pouring out profits for years to come.
