The Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce held an anniversary ribbon cutting for 219 ELM and Legal Grounds.  219 ELM, which houses Legal Grounds Coffee Shop as well as Gigi’s Antiques and Collectables, The Closet Ladies Clothing and the Book Store, celebrated their one-year anniversary with the help of the Chamber and local government representatives. Hoping to support the revitalization of the Historic Downtown Lumberton District, Gidget and Tommy Vickers opened 219 ELM and provide a casual shopping and destination with excellent coffee and food selections from local family suppliers.  The business also offers a relaxing environment with free WIFI, meeting space and open seating to relax, read, enjoy game night, listen to music, or meet with local friends and family.  219 is available for your private meetings or group functions.  You may also want to try The Alley, an open event space which also provides a great entertainment venue for local and private events.  The space is also available for Open Mic Nights which showcase local talents such as singer songwriters to comedians and poets.  Give them a call at 910-370-0793!
