OUR STORY
Second Story is co-piloted by partners in life and parenting, Michael & Gem Akasha.
When we say this is a family business, we mean it. We live and breathe Second Story and running a 24/7 city space with a young family is wild.
We care about your experience deeply, and when you visit our space, we treat you as if you were visiting our family home.
In fact, we want you to make yourself at home here at Second Story.
Our community, is yours.
