Our Guiding Principles

Feb 13, 2024

At CP Iced Teas & Market, we believe that a business is more than just a money-making venture. It's an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of the people we serve and the community we call home. That's why, from the very beginning, we've made sure that our values are at the heart of everything we do.

It starts with our commitment to quality and innovation. We're not content to offer just another iced tea; we want to craft beverages that are truly exceptional. That means sourcing the finest ingredients, experimenting with unique flavor combinations, and constantly pushing ourselves to raise the bar. Whether you're sipping on a classic sweet tea or venturing into one of our more creative concoctions, you can taste the care and passion that goes into every cup.

But for us, quality goes beyond just the product. It's about the entire experience. When you walk into CP Iced Teas & Market, we want you to feel welcomed, valued, and at home. That's why we put such an emphasis on creating a warm, inviting atmosphere and training our team to provide service that genuinely connects. We believe that every interaction, no matter how small, is an opportunity to make someone's day a little brighter.

This commitment to people extends to our team as well. We know that to create an exceptional experience for our customers, we need to start by creating an exceptional experience for our employees. That means providing comprehensive training, fostering a culture of empowerment and ownership, and making sure that every team member feels respected, appreciated, and heard. When our team is thriving, our business thrives.

But our values go beyond just the four walls of our establishment. We believe that as a business, we have a responsibility to the community that supports us. That's why we make giving back a priority, whether it's through sponsoring local events, partnering with community organizations, or using our platform to raise awareness for causes we believe in. We want CP Iced Teas & Market to be not just a place to get a great drink, but a force for good in our neighborhood.

Of course, none of this would be possible without a foundation of integrity and authenticity. We believe in being transparent about our practices, owning our mistakes, and always striving to do what's right – even when it's not what's easy. We know that trust is earned, not given, and we work hard every day to be a business that our customers and our community can rely on.

These values – quality, service, community, and integrity – aren't just nice sentiments. They're the guiding lights that illuminate every decision we make, from the suppliers we choose to the initiatives we pursue. They're what get us excited to come to work every day and what drive us to keep pushing forward, even when the road gets tough.

In a world where so many businesses seem to prioritize profit over people, we know that our approach might seem a little unconventional. But for us, it's the only way forward. Because at the end of the day, what matters most isn't just what we achieve, but how we achieve it. It's about staying true to who we are, and using our business as a vehicle for positive change.

So when you choose CP Iced Teas & Market, know that you're choosing more than just a great beverage. You're supporting a business that believes in putting people first, giving back to the community, and always striving to do what's right. You're becoming part of a story that's about so much more than the bottom line – it's about making a difference, one cup at a time.

We invite you to come in, pull up a chair, and experience the CP Iced Teas & Market difference for yourself. Because while our teas may be the star of the show, it's our values that truly set us apart. And that's a flavor we're proud to serve every day.
