• Studio Zumba in Vandalia has expanded to include Locolicious — a juice and coffee bar. A grand opening was held on July 15.

Opened in January 2007, Studio Zumba is owned by Joan and Doug Jones.

Joan Jones said they decided to add the juice bar because they had the space and it was a good fit.

"The health and nutrition benefits of eating well need to be part of the whole package, so a fresh juice after a hard workout seemed a good fit," she said in a press release.

Not only has the juice bar been a hit with their clients, but they are starting to get orders from the public, she said.
