Meet our owners: Bill & Deb Eckert and Kym Eggers<\/h4>\n

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.\u00a0 Deb and Bill Eckert started Edge of Town as a once a month Saturday shoppers treasure hunt.\u00a0 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).\u00a0 \u00a0It 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.\u00a0 Each owner brings an array of strengths and most importantly the best customer service around.\u00a0 Don’t believe us, they even have an award saying so.<\/p>\n
