King Street Coffee Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Scheduled for
Friday, October 1, 2010
Leesburg, VA (September 27, 2010) – At 5:30 pm, on Friday, October 1, 2010, Town of Leesburg
officials will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for King Street Coffee, located at 110 South King
Street in historic downtown Leesburg. Mayor Umstattd will be officiating.
King Street Coffee is located at the corner of South King Street and Royal Street SE, one block
from the W&OD Trail, with an adjacent parking lot in the rear. Their menu features locally
roasted beans as well as brewed coffee, favorite espresso drinks, gourmet tea, other iced cold
beverages and freshly baked treats. Visitors can linger in the indoor seating area or enjoy the
front porch or garden seating.
Owner Kimberly Nevin and her husband Tom recently relocated to Loudoun County, bringing
with them years of experience in the hospitality industry.
“With this well-known location, we saw the potential in once again offering good, locally
roasted coffee in downtown Leesburg,” said Nevin. “From the moment you enter the shop, you
smell freshly baked scones, muffins and cookies. Customers can either get their coffee to go or
linger a while. Our front sitting room is the perfect gathering spot for locals and tourists alike,
or if you prefer taking in the ambiance of historic Leesburg, try our red rocking chairs on the
front porch. For a quieter moment, we have cozy Adirondack chairs in the garden. We look
forward to playing an active role in Leesburg’s downtown business community.”

“King Street Coffee is a great addition to Leesburg’s historic downtown,” commented Ara
Bagdasarian, chair of the Leesburg Economic Development Commission. “The quick turn-over
of this property really demonstrates that downtown is alive and well!”
