Meet our owners: Bill & Deb Eckert and Kym Eggers
Just a mere six years ago, a dream was curated and has developed into the most interesting and exciting places to check out in Lee, Florida. Deb and Bill Eckert started Edge of Town as a once a month Saturday shoppers treasure hunt. Over the last few years they have worked diligently to bring the Bullpen bar, the Vittles food truck and the Warehouse (indoor seating with air/heat). It should be no surprise that business owner, Kym Eggers joined forces to help create the Bullpen and Vittles food truck and bring exciting events each night we are open from bingo, karaoke to cornhole and pool tournaments. Each owner brings an array of strengths and most importantly the best customer service around. Don’t believe us, they even have an award saying so.
Meet our bar team members.
