You may have heard about (or visited!) Magic City Nutrition. The shop opened in the spring of 2019 at the Battery in Birmingham. Well, say hello to its soon-to-be sister—Sip Social Trussville.

It’s still up in the air as to where in Trussville the store will be located, but according to co-owner Britni Liberton, the goal is to open before the end of 2020.

In keeping with Magic City Nutrition, Sip Social will offer quick-grab items like protein shakes and energizing teas.
