FRANKLIN, Pa. (EYT) — As customers stroll into the Iron Furnace, they will be greeted with the sweet aroma of fresh coffee that has been roasted entirely in-house.

Franklin-native Hannah Gamble is the owner of the self-proclaimed “eclectic” coffee shop, which will be located at 1236 Liberty Street in Franklin. The building previously housed Bossa Nova Coffee Roastery and Summer House Coffee Roasters.
The shop is expected to open in the coming days.
Gamble, 22, a former employee of Bossa Nova, moved on to work for La Prima Espresso Company, a Pittsburgh-based company dedicated to procuring, roasting, and serving premium Italian-style espresso and fine coffees from around the world.
She began her work for La Prima as a barista, but she soon moved up to become an apprentice roaster, as well as working on the wholesale side of the company. Along with leasing the space, she purchased the building’s original coffee roaster that previously belonged to Aaron Lloyd, former owner of Summer House Coffee, to roast all coffee in-house.
