Lemar Story, a CO.STARTERS alum and finalist in the inaugural The Big Pitch presented by PNC, recently opened a brick and mortar location for Life Touch Massage. If you’re looking for a great massage, head to the Parkside District. You’ll find him at 1223 2nd Avenue South. Moving into the city of Birmingham in his own space was Lemar’s dream when he first sought services from REV. We’re thrilled to see his dream come to fruition!
Also… SmallBox Company is back at Railroad Park! Their first tenant of 2017 is Birmingham Candy Company, owned by Wayne and Cassie Bolden. Two more re-purposed shipping containers are planned for the Railroad Park site, and two others are being prepared for placement in other Birmingham commercial districts.
