March: Closer Look
Foxy Boss Salon
Foxy Boss, located in the heart of The District, opened its doors in December of 2021. Foxy Boss is a salon, spa, and social space specializing in precision haircuts, styling, color treatments, manicures, and pedicures. Owned by husband-and-wife duo Adam and Bethany Voight, Bethany runs the day-to-day operations and works as a stylist while Adam helps with marketing and anything else behind the scenes.
Foxy Boss is an extension and complement to their other business, conveniently located next door, M. Boss barber shop. As the barbershop business grew, Adam and Bethany saw the need to bring on additional services that they were not able to provide in their existing space. They snagged the location next door, formulated a plan, and Foxy Boss was born! The goal: to create a posh, relaxed environment with a vintage twist. Both businesses offer exceptional customer service, quality, and, delicious beverages.

Love Coffee
Love Coffee has opened a second location! When asked, “What are you most known for?” Love Coffee’s answer is simple: their employment model of hiring and supporting individuals with disabilities. (But the bakery items make the mission delicious!) They offer scratch-made pastries, breakfast and lunch items, espresso, and coffee drinks.
Love Coffee is operated by the Love My Job Training Center, a 501(c)3 Missouri corporation. Founder Chuck Crews enjoyed working with the Special Olympics for many years. He observed folks show up to practice, demonstrate improvement over time, have a great experience, and make meaningful friendships. Inspired by a similar organization, Bitty and Beau’s Coffee, Chuck wanted to bring the same joy to a business here in Columbia. Love Coffee hopes to raise awareness of the value those with barriers to employment bring to employers and, more importantly, to our community. They want to create a place for community to happen in a great atmosphere with great food.
