Renee Tu and Jonathan Williams opened downtown Macon’s first bubble tea cafe in the spring of 2022, just in time for the International Cherry Blossom Festival. NewTown’s expert understanding of the downtown market, paired with accessible financing, inspired the couple to approach NewTown about a loan to help with building out their storefront at 359 Third Street and purchasing inventory. Jonathan was already familiar with NewTown and its financing and training programs, thanks to his participation in our Developer’s Academy. After his wife Renee successfully tested the boba tea concept at the Mulberry Market in Tattnall Square Park, the couple started working with NewTown to bring their start-up business to life. Renee and Jonathan brought valuable experience and insight to their fledgling business and understood the market potential of their product, making them viable borrowers. Hello Boba Cafe has quickly become a downtown staple by offering boba tea, lemonades, and Asian snacks and regularly hosting anime-themed events and cosplay nights.
