HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – You will soon be able to get a little extra pick me up to help while you shop around the Huntington Mall.
The mall announced Friday that Grindstone Coffeeology, which has a location along 8th street in Huntington, is opening a storefront in the mall.

You will find many of the same items at the new location as you can at their original shop in Huntington.
The new 996 square-foot coffee shop will be located next door to BoxLunch, which, despite the name, will be a retailer offering a collection of licensed and non-licensed merchandise. With every $10 customers spend at the store, BoxLunch will provide a meal secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.

Grindstone will be roasting its own coffee beans and offering a variety of drinks to customers including cappuccinos, espressos, lattes and cold-brewed iced coffee.

The drink menu also includes sweet and unsweetened tea and Italian sodas.
In addition to the drinks, you will be able to get an assortment of breakfast pastries, sandwiches and soup.
Both stores are expected to open in time for the holiday shopping season.

Tasty new offerings at Huntington Mall

Posted on | by Christopher Anthony

Two great new additions are coming to Huntington Mall this fall.  BoxLunch and Grindstone Coffeeology both plan to open their doors in time for the holiday shopping season.

The name of BoxLunch is a little deceiving.  It’s a civic-minded web + brick and mortar-based specialty retailer offering a curated collection of licensed and non-licensed merchandise. The pop culture-themed product line includes apparel, accessories, home goods, gift and novelty, and collectibles.  With every $10 customers spend, BoxLunch will help provide a meal secured by Feeding America® on behalf of local member food banks.  The new store will open its doors in a 3,444 square foot location near Center Court.  There are currently 165 BoxLunch stores nationwide.

Right next door to BoxLunch, Grindstone Coffeeology will be serving up delicious offerings for coffee lovers.  The new 996 square foot shop roasts its own coffee beans and offers a variety of drinks that include cappuccino, espresso, lattes and cold-brewed iced coffee.  The drink menu also includes sweet and unsweetened tea and Italian sodas.  Complementing all this is a tasty assortment of breakfast pastries, sandwiches and soup.  Grindstone has already built a loyal following at its initial location in the City of Huntington.

Huntington Mall has been serving the people of West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky since 1981.  This 1.5 million square foot shopping complex is located off Route 60 and Interstate 64 at exit 20 in Barboursville, WV.  For more information on mall tenants, hours and events, call 304-733-0492 or visit online at www.huntingtonmall.com.  Huntington Mall is owned and managed in association with the Cafaro family of companies, based in Niles, Ohio.  To learn more about the Cafaro organization, go to www.cafarocompany.com.

HUNTINGTON — The Marshall University Office of Career Education will host the JCPenney’s Suit-Up event from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3, at the Huntington Mall JCPenney.

“The office of career education staff, along with members of the JCPenney team, will be on hand to offer insights into the latest career fashion trends, as well as the basics of appropriate business dress,” said Jennifer Brown, assistant director for student engagement and marketing for career education.

Brown said participants will receive a 30% discount on all purchases made during the event. Students will get an additional 30% off discount on sale-priced professional wear during the event.

“At the inaugural event in November of 2019 our students saved over $7,000 and walked away with great business attire,” Brown said. “This is a fantastic event, and we are proud to partner with JCPenney.”

This is an exclusive event for Marshall University students, alumni, faculty and staff only. Brown says the store will only be open to the Marshall community during the event’s hours.
