History
In 2013, Dustin Keene opened Common Grounds. The coffee shop opened to fill up the remainder of the space in the building Keene’s production company known as Chronicles Video Productions was using. With the idea in his mind that the neighborhood was in dire need of a coffee shop Common Grounds was born.
