Java Moon

Java Moon

When Megan Cook acquired Java Moon in December 2021, her intention was to preserve the cherished legacy of the historic business in downtown Sheridan, while infusing it with a dynamic energy to propel it forward.

‘I wanted to create a welcoming vibe where people can come to gather, to meet with friends and enjoy great food,’ she explains.

Business Offerings

The menu ranges from made-from-scratch pastries to hearty lunch options and bespoke catering.

Remarkable Growth

Megan’s strategic management resulted in:

• Over 20% sales growth annually for three years
• Introduction of ‘The Phases’ private conference room
• Support for local artists and musicians
• Community involvement through local boards and charities

Expansion

In August 2024, Megan acquired a lease for a second location (Java Moon Station) on Coffeen Ave., offering:

• Drive-thru option
• Broader clientele reach
• Expanded service area

SBDC Support

The Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) played a crucial role in providing:

• Business advising
• Market research services

Community Impact

Java Moon is more than a coffee shop—it’s a community gathering place that supports local artists, hosts events, and contributes to the vitality of downtown Sheridan.
