Happy Fifth Anniversary, Mulberry's!

Mulberry's Market is celebrating today — it's been exactly five years since the store opened in 2007.

Those five years have seen 91,260 medium lattes and 82,624 ICEEs served up to customers, according to the market's newsletter.

Here's a look at some Mulberry's history, as reported in Piedmont Patch:
