Ledger in Bentonville announced its “Coffee Shop and Grab and Go” partner yesterday: Airship Coffee. 

• Bike city: The local coffee shop and Ledger seem to be a perfect blend, with bikes being a throughline of Airship’s story and Ledger being the first bikeable building in the world. Both companies have a mission to knit together a cycling-based community through a “live, work, meet” experience. 
• Quick stop: The new Airship cafe in Ledger will be just off the bike breezeway of downtown Bentonville, and it will have a bike-up window for anyone to experience the new centerpiece of town. In celebration of the partnership, Airship and Ledger are gifting three winners a special bundle through a social media giveaway.
