A ribbon cutting was held at Leesburg’s newest yogurt shop, luv’nberry, early Wednesday evening, a new enterprise by the owners of Manhattan Pizza, located just next door.

Mayor Kristen Umstattd officiated Tuesday evening's event, which welcomed well over 100 people who came out to show their support.
The parking lot was full as was the store during Wolf Furniture’s ribbon cutting and grand opening event on Tuesday. The Leesburg location is the first store to open in the state of Virginia and is one of 12 stores that are family owned.

Following a complete reorganization of the town’s land development process, including the creation of a new department of plan review, Wolf Furniture came back to the town in early 2011 with renewed plans to build their Leesburg location. One year later, the doors have finally …
