A Cup of Common Wealth coffee shop is coming to the aid of fellow local businesses in the area hit by a recent string of burglaries over the past few days.
Customers to the coffee shop, located at the corner of Main Street and Eastern Avenue, will receive a free cup of coffee if they bring in a receipt from one of the area businesses affected by the robberies: The Collective (314 S. Ashland Ave.), Hair Razors (509 E. Maxwell St.). Cup of Common Wealth was also burglarized earlier in the week.
"(We) aren't crime fighters or super heroes, but we know for sure what some love can do for people in these situations," the owners posted on the business's Facebook page.
The Morris Book Shop on E. High Street was also the target of a recent burglary, but the business's alarm system thwarted the attempt.
