In the heart of Centralia, where community means everything and creativity thrives, a pair of businesses are making a lasting impact—Reclaimed Book & Bean and Reclaimed Stage.

At first glance, it might seem like an unexpected pairing: a specialty coffee shop and a live music venue. But to founders Brad and Callie Page, it’s all part of the same dream—a dream that started not with coffee or concerts, but with furniture.

“We started as Reclaimed furniture store,” they share. “Originally, we hosted Second Saturdays with shopping, live music, and food vendors. The live music quickly became a crowd favorite, and Reclaimed Stage Concert Venue was born.”

That evolution from store to stage was more than a business pivot—it was a response to what the community loved most. And it became the foundation for everything that followed.

Today, Reclaimed Book & Bean offers more than just a good cup of coffee. It’s a place where stories live—on the shelves and in the conversations sparked between friends old and new. Meanwhile, Reclaimed Stage continues to grow as a destination for live outdoor music, bringing people together under the stars.

But what makes these businesses truly special isn’t just what they do—it’s how they do it.

“Our greatest hope is that people notice we care. We are honored to have them join us, and we appreciate their willingness to spend their downtime at our establishments,” they say. “When people hear the word ‘Reclaimed,’ we hope they have a warm, inviting, peaceful association with our company. That’s certainly the goal.”

That heartfelt mission is rooted in the very fabric of Centralia—a place where support isn’t just a slogan, but a way of life.

“The thing that sticks out to us the most about Centralia is how people (no matter their differences) rally when it’s needed. The community shows up when there’s a struggle. We have no shortage of help in this town,” they explain. “We appreciate that more than anything else.”

It’s no surprise then that joining the local Chamber of Commerce was an obvious step.

“No matter what town you live in, big or small, there’s a Chamber of Commerce and it’s the place people go for information about the town,” they say. “Naturally, we wanted to be part of that. It was a no-brainer.”

And as seasoned entrepreneurs, Brad and Callie are quick to share what they’ve learned along the way.

“Be a business that embodies who you are before even thinking about what product you will sell. That will be the only thing that gets you through the tough business times,” they say. “And when 90% of the people you know—even those who love you—say it won’t work, you’re in the right space. Most of those people will never open a business. If you believe in something that others ‘know’ won’t work, then congratulations—you’re a part of the 10%. That’s a great place to be.”

Their words are not only encouraging—they’re deeply rooted in faith and purpose.

“The path you’re on, and the path God has you on, may not always line up. Roll with that,” they add. “Even in our genius, He is still much, much smarter than us.”

This spirit of openness and generosity extends to the way they give back to the community that has supported them so deeply. From donating stage passes and coffee cards to local causes to quietly helping where help is needed, they remain committed to paying it forward.

“We’ve seen so much support thrown at us over the years, that it makes it easy to give when we see a need.”

And as for what’s next? The possibilities are endless.

“Brad and I are ALWAYS reaching for new goals and starting new ventures. We have a list of things we want to do in this world, and we haven’t even made a dent yet,” they say with a laugh. “It’s too much fun to chase possibilities and opportunities. It makes us feel alive!”

That drive, that joy, that connection to something bigger than business—that’s the magic behind Reclaimed. And while they’re not finished building, they’re already deeply grateful.

“We’d just like to say thank you to the community for being so kind and supportive over the years. We know we don’t always get everything right, but we appreciate your continued belief in our vision. We promise to keep pursuing the best versions of our businesses and ourselves. Thanks for being a part of the Reclaimed journey.”

The Chamber of Commerce extends its heartfelt appreciation to Reclaimed Stage and Reclaimed Book & Bean for their unwavering commitment to bringing our community together. Through their creative events, welcoming spaces, and passion for local connection, they have become vital hubs of inspiration and togetherness. We are grateful for everything they do to enrich our town and foster a sense of belonging for all.
