New Lenox, get ready to turn the page! Your favorite spot for handcrafted coffee and community connection, Grounded Coffee Bar, is thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter: we're expanding to include a curated indie bookstore!
Imagine this: the aroma of freshly brewed Intelligentsia coffee mingling with the comforting scent of books, the quiet murmur of conversation punctuated by the turning of pages. Soon, Grounded Coffee Bar in New Lenox will offer a unique experience, blending the best of both worlds – a cozy haven for coffee lovers and a treasure trove for bookworms.
"We're so excited to bring this new concept to New Lenox," says owner Rachael Giantomasso. "We've always envisioned Grounded as more than just a coffee shop – it's a place for people to connect, relax, and find a little inspiration. Adding an indie bookstore feels like a natural extension of that vision."
The expanded space will feature comfortable nooks and inviting shelves stocked with a thoughtfully curated selection of independent literature. Discover hidden gems, support emerging authors, and lose yourself in the pages of a great book, all while savoring your favorite Grounded latte or a delicious pastry.
But the expansion is about more than just books and coffee. Grounded Coffee Bar aims to become a vibrant hub for the New Lenox community, hosting a variety of events and activities.
"We want to create a space where people can come together and share their love of reading and community," explains manager Lexy. "We're planning to host book clubs, movie nights, and even game nights. There will be something for everyone!"
