Kava Culture Kava Bar plans next location in North Naples

Kava Culture Kava Bar is targeted to open Sept. 1 in The Pavilion shopping center on the northwest corner of U.S. 41 and Vanderbilt Beach Road in North Naples. Launched in Bonita Springs in 2017 by sisters Caroline and Jacqueline Rusher, Kava Culture has since expanded its organic herbal menu of euphoric kava, energizing kratom elixirs, kombucha tea and other beverages to locations in Fort Myers Beach, downtown Fort Myers, Port Charlotte and Tampa. A semi-circular covered patio leads to the entrance of the North Naples space where both legs of The Pavilion shopping center meet. Until recently closing, the third location of Delicious Raw Kitchen & Juice Bar had operated there since 2015.
