Board game cafe opens in Gibson Mill Market

Luck Factory is centrally located on the lower level of the market, directly underneath where food vendors will soon be, and across from High Branch Brewing.

Why it matters: Think of Gibson Mill as a smaller version of Optimist Hall, with a focus on locally-owned restaurants and retailers.
