COLUMBUS, Ind. — Lucabe Coffee Co. has decided to keep its original downtown location.
Owners Tyler and Alissa Hodge have said they will continue to lease their Fourth Street shop, said Redevelopment Director Heather Pope.
“We’re happy about that and think they’re a great asset to our downtown,” she said. The couple is exercising their option to do another five-year lease agreement, with the new term beginning at the end of June. They will also have the option to renew for an additional five years after that.
The downtown shop is leased out by the Columbus Redevelopment Commission.
The Hodges opened a second Lucabe location in midtown Columbus this past fall. Tyler Hodge said in a previous interview that the second branch had significantly outperformed the downtown location, as of early December.
