TEMPLE, Texas — A new black-owned health and wellness restaurant has officially opened its doors in downtown Temple.
Owners Marquita Frank and her husband offer healthy shakes and teas great for post workouts and delicious energy drinks that are sure to get you going for the day.
They even make their own protein balls that you can substitute for meals.
And the best part? It's all sugar-free.
Marquita Frank hopes that by opening the business it will show the younger generations that anything is possible if you just elevate yourself.
“I think the biggest thing is we have a younger generation coming up under us of brown, yellow, peach kids that need to see that just because you may have come from small and humble beginnings, doesn't mean you can't elevate yourself to strive for more. The next generation coming up behind you is watching you.”
T-Town Energy & Nutrition is located at 8 E Avenue A, in downtown Temple right next to Cheeves Brothers. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Marquita Frank is also starting a lazy fit mom class for moms on the go.
