Morning Beginnings
Starting my day at New Standard Saugatuck always feels special, especially when the morning sun casts its golden light across the Kalamazoo River. As I drive into work, I can’t help but appreciate how fortunate we are to be located in one of Michigan’s most cherished coastal communities.
Mid-Morning Magic
The summer buzz is already building by mid-morning. Tourists stroll past our windows, maps in hand, planning their day in this charming lakeside town. From my workspace, I can catch glimpses of sailboats gliding by, their white sails billowing in the warm breeze.
Lunch Break Explorations
One of the best perks of working here is being steps away from downtown Saugatuck’s offerings. During lunch, I often:
- Walk to local cafes
- People-watch on Butler Street
- Take quick trips to Mount Baldhead lookout
- Browse the unique art galleries
Afternoon Flow
The afternoon brings a steady stream of visitors, many sharing stories about their discoveries in town. Some have just returned from dune rides, others from shopping at the eclectic boutiques that line our historic downtown streets.
Evening Wind Down
As the workday concludes, I sometimes take a moment to watch the sun beginning its descent over Lake Michigan. The stunning views remind me why Saugatuck has been a beloved destination for generations of visitors and why working here feels less like a job and more like being part of something special.
The charm of small-town coastal living combined with the vibrant arts community makes every workday unique at New Standard Saugatuck. It’s not just about where we work; it’s about being part of a community that celebrates both its natural beauty and creative spirit.
