Returning the the Utica area from over a decade in Texas, Anna and Sharrone Sofer came back in search of a slower pace of life and some much-needed rest after the hustle and bustle of big-city existence. Little did they know what lay in store for them among the beautiful scenery in Upstate New York. On a hope, a prayer, and two pennies, the Compound was born with one goal - to make something here that would be at home in any big city anywhere in the USA. After almost two years in Clinton, NY the Compound found itself outgrowing its space and made the leap to scenic Bagg's Square just down the road from Utica Coffee and Tailor and the Cook.
