Making a Difference with Girl and Her Dog Coffee Emporium

NORTH AURORA–Gina Picchi’s story is heartwarming in every way. This local mom and business owner, Gina has woven her love for coffee and dogs into a local business that captures the spirit of giving back. This November, as Glancer Magazine celebrates women who inspire, we turn our spotlight on Gina and her beloved "A Girl and Her Dog Coffee."


Growing up, Gina was surrounded by an unconditional love of animals. This early bond ignited a desire to give back, leading her to volunteer at local animal shelters, fostering dogs, and adopting those in need. Yet, her ambitions didn't stop there. With these experiences shaping her vision, Gina combined her passion for coffee with her affection for dogs to create Girl and Her Dog Coffee Emporium.

A SYMPHONY OF FLAVORS

With over 50 unique coffee blends and flavors, Gina’s business offers something for every palate. Each blend is crafted to deliver distinct taste experiences, making it the perfect holiday gift idea or a delightful treat for any occasion. From rich, bold flavors to subtle notes, these coffee blends promise satisfaction for all aficionados.


A PASSION FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Gina’s commitment goes beyond brewing the perfect cup. She continuously seeks partnerships with rescue organizations, eager to support those in urgent need of supplies or medical aid. Her involvement with the Maui Humane Society, where funds were raised to assist animals displaced by the devastating fires in Lahaina, Hawaii, stands as a testament to her dedication.


THE ART OF EXCEPTIONAL COFFEE

At Girl and Her Dog Coffee Emporium, quality is paramount. The highest grade, Arabica coffee is sourced to ensure freshness through small-batch roasting. Each flavor extract is free from sweeteners, sugars, and calories, catering to diverse dietary preferences. Every purchase supports rescue organizations, offering second chances to pups in need, encapsulating Gina’s holistic approach to business.

AN ONGOING JOURNEY OF INSPIRATION

When asked which famous woman she would share a coffee with, Gina chooses Jane Goodall—a beacon of change for animals and the environment. Goodall's words resonate with Gina, “What you do makes a difference. And you have to decide what difference you want to make.” This fuels Gina's relentless drive to make meaningful impacts within her community.


WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN

Gina emphasizes the significance of camaraderie among women in business. This supportive network encourages shared success, motivating her to push boundaries and achieve more. It's a reflection of the broader movement toward women-inspired initiatives, fostering empowerment and growth in the entrepreneurial landscape.

DOGS AT THE HEART OF IT ALL

If Gina’s coffee had a mascot, it would undoubtedly be a dog. Her two rescue dogs, Hank and Holly, frequently feature on her social media, embodying the playful spirit of her brand. These furry companions remind us of the joy and warmth that Girl and Her Dog Coffee Emporium brings to its community.


LOOKING AHEAD

With aspirations to expand her presence in more retail locations, Gina dreams of owning a brick-and-mortar coffee shop. This vision signifies a commitment to bringing her unique coffee experience closer to her customers, offering a place where coffee, community, and compassion converge.

In joining Gina's journey, you’re not just savoring exquisite coffee blends; you’re supporting a mission rooted in love and kindness. This holiday season, consider Gina Picchi’s Girl and Her Dog Coffee as a go-to choice for local gifts that resonate with heart and purpose.
