Coffeehouse and roastery opening at Forum Shopping Center

Dunn Bros Coffee is moving into a section of the former T.K. Brothers location in front of the Forum Shopping Center. The coffeehouse and roastery, an independent and locally owned franchise, will open Nov. 13.

After T.K. Brothers closed, Forum Development Group divided the building into three spaces and added a drive-through window on the south end, where Dunn Bros Coffee will be located.

Co-owners Andy and Shelly Vercelli opened their first Dunn Bros Coffee outlet two years ago in Jefferson City. They married after graduating from the University of Missouri-Columbia in the 1980s.

Dunn Bros Coffee was founded in 1987 and now has more than 90 locations in the United States, including one in Kansas City.

The Columbia coffeehouse on Forum Boulevard will roast beans on-site daily and will have outdoor patio seating, free wireless Internet access and computer terminals.
