About three years into the project, Chris’s Coffee & Custard off 9th Street in Southeast Roanoke is getting ready to open by October. Beth Woodrum will employ mostly young adults with special needs – like her son and store namesake, Chris. Woodrum has also started a non-profit called “LovAble” that trains young adults with challenges for the workplace. Chris’s Coffee & Custard will feature a limited food menu as well and a large outdoor seating area when it opens.
