Star Business of the Week: Cornerstone Coffee

The Albany Area Chamber of Commerce proudly recognizes Cornerstone Coffee as this week’s Star Business of the Week.

Owned by Stan and Ana Franklin, Cornerstone Coffee has been a welcoming hub in Downtown Albany for the past four years. Known for its gourmet coffee, delicious treats, and relaxed atmosphere, it’s become a true cornerstone of the downtown community.

The Franklins recently expanded with a second location in Dawson, Georgia, and are investing in a state-of-the-art coffee roaster—one of only four of its kind on the East Coast—that will allow them to roast and sell their own beans in-store and online.

As faith-based business owners, Stan and Ana are deeply committed to seeing Albany thrive. The Albany Area Chamber celebrates Cornerstone Coffee for its entrepreneurship, innovation, and dedication to community.

The Star Business of the Week is presented by WALB News 10 and Fleming & Riles Insurance, with treats provided by Sugar Mama’s Bakery.
