Another successful team KORA summer outing—a bigger group, a bigger bus, and plenty more smiles to go around.

We always talk about the importance of taking care of our team first, so that they can better take care of each guest that walks into our space. Outings like this allow us to get to know one another as people first, outside of the shop, and bring that camaraderie back to our often hectic work days.

It’s a chance for us to give back to them. To say thank you.

Here’s to continuing to find ways to show our gratitude to our team—the ones who make KORA the special place that it is.
