About Stronger Girl

Stronger Girl coffee was founded by a small town coffee shop entrepreneur and writer in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Stacy Smith Rogers discovered the power of community in her own unique story and launched an initiative through Stronger Girl to encourage other women to embrace challenges with strength, faith and boldness. Her business, The Paddock Coffee + Eats + Gatherings, earned the 2021 Tourism Business of the Year award, just two years after opening in the midst of the pandemic and personal challenges. In December of 2022, she sold the coffee shop to a non-profit that is continuing her hospitality model and brand. On February 9, 2023, Stronger Girl launched online sales of retail bags of Stronger Girl coffee (along with candles) in partnership with Live Oak Roasters. The goal by February 9, 2024 is to ship coffee and candles to women in all 50 states and to expand the Stronger Girl reach globally. Thanks for helping us reach that goal!
