Michimich.com/10314140

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - Michimich -- After more than a year and a half of successful operation by McDowell Coffee, LLC, the beloved DEER CAMP® Harrison Township café is entering an exciting new chapter. Due to evolving family schedules and expanding business ventures, the McDowell family has decided to transition ownership of the business. The new operator, P MILNE LLC, a Michigan based company, will proudly continue the DEER CAMP® tradition with plans to enhance the customer experience while keeping the same "Made in Michigan" spirit that locals have come to love.

The new owner of P MILNE LLC is no stranger to the DEER CAMP® brand — already directly involved with the DEER CAMP® Mio, Michigan location — bringing hands-on experience and a deep understanding of what makes DEER CAMP® special: great coffee, welcoming hospitality, and an authentic Michigan feel.

"I'm deeply grateful for the warm support this community has shown during our time operating DEER CAMP® Harrison Township," said Lauren McDowell, CEO of McDowell Coffee, LLC. "It's been an incredible journey watching customers become friends, families gather here, and the DEER CAMP® brand grow locally.  Thanks to the continued support and leadership of Julie Majewski and the dedicated DEER CAMP® Sterling Heights team, the Harrison Township café flourished. The transition in ownership is a reflection of the brand's strength and the opportunity for new owners to carry forward its success. We're confident that P MILNE LLC will continue to build on that foundation with the same passion and dedication for year to come."
