Local Profile: Mike Glodeck

A newcomer to business in the Cherokee Street neighborhood, Foam Coffee & Beer is steadily building its rep as one of the hippest destinations for drinks or conversation in St. Louis.  If you’ve already visited Eleven’s latest Neighborhood of the Month, you might have stopped by for a cup of joe or a break from walking out in the sun. If you’re still hunting for an excuse to head over, however, then Black James’ live set at 9pm tomorrow might be just the ticket you need.

Eleven interviewed Foam’s owner, Mike Glodeck, for his take on building a business from the ground-up in one of the  most up-and-coming parts of town.

Q+A:

Tell me about how you found yourself on Cherokee Street.

I spent some time looking at all the different commercial districts in the city.  I wanted to be part of some kind of a community….and Cherokee has that potential.  You know, you already have that on the Loop you have that in the CWE, but I was really excited to get in on the ground floor here.

Weekend Show Forecast: 3/4

Thursday, Mar 4th

Starting the weekend on Thursday never hurt anyone – and, to kick it off right, there’s no doubt you’ll need to get down with Hollywood Holt at the Gramophone tonight.  It’ll be a great night of DJ sets, and if you RSVP and arrive before 10 PM, free PBR (one or two is better than none)!
