Vegan Restaurateur Luv Hankins

Luv Hankins had a clear mission when she opened CLTRE | Vegan JNT in Virginia Beach; to bring the community together in a welcoming and inclusive space that served vegan coffee, tea and bites. The entrepreneur and restaurateur began her vegan journey on a challenge over six years ago and first started a small catering company doing events before going in a different direction and launching her first brick-and-mortar location. Today, CLTRE is not only a space for great drinks and food, but also a community hub where people can come and express themselves, meet others and contribute to a cool vibe.
