“Dear PoPville,
The Coupe is going through some changes in the next month. We’ve had summer hours for about a month now (weekdays: 7a-2p; weekends: 7a-4p) and have been working diligently on some awesome projects that will not only better The Coupe for the customers and community, but also for our amazing staff.
On August 26th at 4pm, the Coupe will close down for just over 10 days. (more…)
