BEREA, Ohio — Berea’s newest eatery, The Fruit Stand, offers smoothies, fruit and smoothie bowls, pound cake bowls and oatmeal bowls that are custom made and prepared right in front of the customer.
Owner Jason Carpinelli came up with the concept during the COVID-19 pandemic after he decided to eat healthier and discovered just how time consuming it was to constantly shop for and prepare fresh fruit.

The grand opening at 437 W. Bagley Road (formerly Mootown Creamery) will be Saturday (Aug. 1)…
