A new caf茅 is opening in downtown 91大黄鸭, and the owner is inviting the community to meet the gang.

Deville Coffee is opening its first location in B.C., with four other locations in the works across the province, including one in downtown Vancouver. The caf茅 replaces Starbucks on the corner of Bernard Avenue and Pandosy Street in a heritage building, which originally housed the city鈥檚 first drugstore in 1901.

Deville Coffee is a locally owned chain, with 91大黄鸭 resident Jenna Kopperson heading the downtown location.

鈥淲e are super excited to bring Deville Coffee to 91大黄鸭,鈥� she said.

鈥淭he caf茅 looks amazing, and we can鈥檛 wait to meet our customers and fellow businesses in the neighbourhood.鈥�

To celebrate its grand opening on Oct. 14, all beverages will be by donation, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to 91大黄鸭-based non-profit Mamas for Mamas, which helps vulnerable families who may be experiencing poverty-related issues.

鈥淲e are so pleased to support Mamas for Mamas at the grand opening, and we appreciate the community鈥檚 support,鈥� she said.

鈥淲e invite everyone to come visit us that day, say hello, check out the caf茅, and support a wonderful cause.鈥�

Deville Coffee was founded by Paul Brassard and Mark Nolan in 2008. Other locations are in Alberta.
