GO Topeka Announces Sparrow Coffee Co As Coffee Shop Operator For Link Innovation Labs
GO Topeka is thrilled to announce that Sparrow Coffee Co will serve as the official coffee shop operator for Link Innovation Labs, the region’s newest hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, Q1 2026. This exciting partnership, supported by KBS Constructors as the coffee shop sponsor, will bring high-quality coffee and a welcoming space to tenants, visitors, startups, and the entire downtown Topeka community.
Located inside Link Innovation Labs, Sparrow Coffee Co will provide a vibrant gathering spot where ideas can flow as freely as the coffee. The collaboration between Sparrow Coffee Co and KBS Constructors reflects a shared commitment to fueling innovation and supporting local businesses.
“Having a coffee shop inside Link Innovation Labs is more than just a convenience—it’s a catalyst for creativity,” said Stephanie Moran, Senior Vice President of Innovation at GO Topeka. “Great ideas often start over a cup of coffee, and Sparrow Coffee Co will help energize the entrepreneurs and startups that call Link home.”
KBS Constructors, a longtime supporter of Topeka’s growth, is proud to sponsor the coffee shop as part of its investment in the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. “Innovation drives progress, and we believe in creating spaces where that progress can thrive,” said Matt Charvat, President of KBS Constructors. “Partnering with GO Topeka and Sparrow Coffee Co allows us to support the innovators shaping Topeka’s future.”
For Sparrow Coffee Co, this opportunity is both exciting and personal. “As a small business ourselves, we know how important community support is,” said Jaime McKinley, Co-owner of Sparrow Coffee Co. “We’re thrilled to showcase our coffee to the innovators of the region and to be part of an environment that champions entrepreneurship. The support we’ve received from KBS and the Topeka community makes this collaboration even more meaningful.”
The coffee shop will open alongside Link Innovation Labs in Q1 2026, offering a space for collaboration, networking, and inspiration.
