A beloved coffee shop is making a comeback in Erie. Legenderie, which closed last year, will reopen as The Coffee Bar by Legenderie on Parade Street. This new location is expected to open by late summer or fall. The initiative is backed by Erie's Black Wall Street, which aims to support local businesses and create job opportunities.
• The new site was previously home to Latino's restaurant, which closed in 2019.
• Kyra Taylor, from Erie's Black Wall Street, believes this location is perfect for Legenderie.
• The Trainors, former owners of Legenderie Records and Coffee House, will run the new coffee shop.
• The partnership aims to provide affordable rent, fostering a supportive business environment.
This reopening is significant for the community. It reflects a commitment to revitalizing neighborhoods and supporting local entrepreneurship. By investing in underutilized spaces, the project aims to enhance community engagement and economic growth.
