ABOUT US
Hello,
Welcome to our page. We are very excited to share our café and catering services with everyone! Although the primary focus of this web page is to share M.O.R.E. (Mommas Own Real Eats) Café and Catering with you, we also have a nice liquor store on premise too, Selah Liquor & More Store.
How it all began..
In 2012 liquor sales went into the private sector from a state controlled scenario due to a voter passed initiative. As an employee of a state controlled contract store I was allowed to buy the rights to the contract store in privatization. I named my store Liquor & More Store, knowing full well the world of liquor sales in Washington State would be changed forever, and liquor sales wouldn’t carry a business alone any longer. I knew I would have to do “MORE”, but really didn’t know what the more was. I added gifts, mixers, greeting cards, wines and beers to the store, but I have had long time dream to have my own restaurant. Well, with building size restrictions I started small, I added a small deli to the liquor store in 2015.
The deli needed its own name and I decided the “More” part of Liquor and More Store would become an acronym, the question was; what would it stand for? As if the ultimate plan all along, I decided M.O.R.E. would stand for Mommas Own Real Eats!
M.O.R.E. Deli quickly took off and outgrew the small location. In Spring of 2017, when the five year lease was up I found a beautiful location with a wonderful outdoor patio, and born was our new café. M.O.R.E. Café! Within the first 6 months, responding to public requests we added catering to our café and it is so much fun to have this amazing café and watch it grow.
In reading this introduction to my business, undoubtedly you read the references to “I” and “We” when reading, this is the realization that I started the business but I don’t run or operate alone, I have the most supporting family ever, they work their own full time jobs but help me as needed whether its lending financial support, moral support, shopping for the café or stocking shelves. I also have a couple employees who are amazing helpers. There is absolutely no way, I could have come this far on my own!
I believe my business is the epitome of small town Ma & Pa operation, our customers are our friends and we truly appreciate their loyalty and love!
We all look forwarding to meeting you.
Stop by and say HI!
