WINONA LAKE — The River Coffeehouse is expanding again.
The business expanded from a store in North Webster to one in Warsaw last year (and then jumped to a new location in Warsaw on Center Street late last year) and now plan to open a coffee shop in Winona Lake.
That announcement initially came from the owners of Light Rail Cafe who announced on Facebook on Friday that they are “passing the torch” to The River CoffeeHouse.
The following is the statement from Light Rail:
“After 12 incredible years of serving you delicious pizzas, sandwiches and countless cups of coffee, we are excited to announce that on April 14th, the owners of Light Rail Cafe are passing the torch to The River Coffeehouse!
This transition marks a new chapter for our beloved cafe and The Village at Winona, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about the fresh energy and creativity that The River Coffeehouse will bring.
Thank you to our amazing customers for being part of our journey—your support has meant the world to us! We hope you embrace this change with open hearts, just as we do. Here’s to new beginnings and the memorable moments that lie ahead!”
Owners of the Coffeehouse then issued their announcement on Facebook, noting the other existing stores will remain open. They wrote:
“Thank you for everyone’s support through our growth the last 5 years! We have big shoes to fill in Winona Lake but cannot wait to be a part of their community!”
