Raining Berries, a new coffee shop at Southside Village, is celebrating its grand opening with a special guest appearance by former MLB pitcher Edwin Jackson, a World Series champion with the St. Louis Cardinals. He pitched for the Tampa Bay Rays early in his baseball career and played from 2003 to 2019 with various teams.

Jackson owns the shop with former Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl and current Pittsburgh Steelers star Kenneth Gainwell.

Customers will have a chance to meet Jackson and receive gifts including signed baseballs, while supplies last.

The event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 21 at 1935 S. Osprey Ave. For updates, visit the Raining Berries Southside Village page on Facebook.
