Customers at Rise Up Cafe in Sarasota, Fla., will soon notice a difference: The coffee and ice cream shop staffed by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is moving to a new location, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports.
"I've always thought that having a proper shop in an airport would be the perfect place for our team of people with disabilities to show their abilities to thousands of new customers who would be walking by every day," owner Beaver Shriver says in a press release.
The nonprofit is moving to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport as part of a larger project to expand the airport.
The new cafe will be located in the new terminal, which will be completed in about a year.
Shriver says most of Rise Up's employees had never had a job before and were excited to get back to work.
