​

Good morning, Union County. The aroma of fresh-baked bread will soon waft through Marysville as Potbelly breaks ground at Coleman's Crossing Boulevard. This sandwich shop expansion is more than just a new lunch option—it's part of a larger development bringing multiple retail spaces to the 1.38-acre site, with Royal Restaurant Group planning 14 additional Potbelly locations across Central Ohio in the coming years.

Green-thumbed residents have a date to circle on their calendars as the 21st Annual Plant Sale relocates to the Union County Services Center on August 9th. Meanwhile, just a county away, Franklin County's Soberfest enters its 13th year of proving that memorable celebrations don't require alcohol. The August 31st festival at Hilliard fairgrounds will feature everything from live music to family activities—showing that sobriety and good times make perfect companions.
