The storefront in the Raleigh Slabtown apartment building, 1585 NW 22nd Ave., across the street from Breakside Brewing, has been leased to a new health-conscious business called Ode.
The wellness café and apothecary will focus on everyday wellness, says owner Gail Bolte, who is running the business with her daughter, Laine. Bolte has a background in pilates and gyrotonic expansion exercise programs.
Ode will serve organic coffee, smoothies, as well as gluten- and dairy-free food. Plans call for an opening in early fall.
