Red Rambler Coffees and Ramblin’ Red’s Brewing Co. in Wauseon has recently changed owners, which prompted a celebratory ribbon cutting that took place this past week with the Wauseon Chamber of Commerce.
The celebration took place on Tuesday, March 19th at the shop which is located at 1493 North Shoop Avenue.
Ownership was taken over by Chris and Erica Scharer on February 1st, 2024. While most things people have come to know and love will remain, some additional items are being looked into.
Some of these items include more flatbreads, pub foods, and even additional baked goods. This is all in addition to the company’s coffee, brewed beverages, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, smoothies, and assortment of baked goods.
Owner Erica Scharer explained that the decision to take over ownership of Red Rambler happened after they began looking for a new opportunity.
They then “stumbled” upon the listing for the shop and liked what they saw. With friendly employees, a wonderful community, and a business that was run well, Erica explained that they saw no red flags and thought, why not?
Red Rambler roasts their beans and brews their beer all on-site. “We are all about doing as much as we can here in-house, in order to provide the best product, we can to the community. I think our employees are engaged with the community and they have a passion for providing wonderful service to everyone who comes through the door,” said Erica Scharer.
The shop is currently open Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and on Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Plans are in motion to change the hours to closing at 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays once it is warmer out.
