|
|
VERO BEACH — The Vero Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for the new business, Sunset Island, located in Luria Plaza. There you can find juices, crepes, smoothies, bowls and homemade popsicles.
Owners George and Jelena Lopez are residents of Vero Beach and they welcomed family and friends to try foods that they love during the ribbon cutting ceremony.
George and Jelena met while attending flight school in Indian River County. After learning about the many beauties Vero Beach has to offer, they decided to settle down on the Treasure Coast and they now consider Vero Beach their home.
Both being airline pilots and healthy lifestyle enthusiasts they quickly realized which foods they crave the most when they are back at home. That feeling bred the concept for and inspired the couple to open Sunset Island.
