Quills grand opening is this Saturday, February 18.

I've borrowed this release from the Indiana Small Business Development Center, which included it in this morning's e-mailing. NABC is donating growlers to the general merriment, so consider stopping by and saying hello to the Quills crew on this special day.

DOWNTOWN NEW ALBANY COFFEE BOUTIQUE CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING


Quills Coffee Invites Public to Enjoy Local Goods


As one of the latest businesses to join the revitalization of downtown New Albany, Quills Coffee will be celebrating their Grand Opening on Saturday, February 18th. In addition to a morning (10am) ribbon-cutting ceremony, the event offers a day-long showcase of local food, beer, music, raffles and discounted coffee.


Occupying what was once "The Fair" Department Store at 137 Market St., Quills is a boutique coffee shop and roastery featuring artisan espresso, manually brewed coffee, and locally made pastries, chocolates and sandwiches.


Quills first opened five years ago in Louisville, Kentucky by brothers Nathan and Gabriel Quillo. The New Albany location is their second shop followed by a third recently opened on U of L's campus.


Opening Quills in New Albany was especially significant for the Quillos. Nathan says, "My brother and I grew up in New Albany so we're happy to join other local businesses in revitalizing downtown New Albany. We're excited to share our passion for coffee with our new neighbors in southern Indiana. We want to invite everyone to come see our new shop where we roast -and sell- all our own coffee and carefully craft each espresso drink."


Quills has been open in New Albany since early December but will officially celebrate on Saturday with a variety of events lasting until closing time at 8pm. All are welcome.


Quills Coffee NA is open from 7am - 8pm daily. Located at 137 E. Market St. directly across from The Grand.
