Bubblecake cupcake shops to open third location in Christiansburg

Rob and Lisa Lusk, the owners of Bubblecake cupcake shops in the Roanoke Valley, are opening a location at Village Square on Peppers Ferry Road in Christiansburg. Rob Lusk said they hope to open by the end of August.

The New River Valley location will be the third for the Lusks, who own Bubblecake shops in South Roanoke and Southwest Roanoke County. The first shop, on Crystal Spring Avenue in Roanoke, opened in 2009. A location on Electric Road opened two years later.

Rob Lusk said they chose Christiansburg because it was centrally located in the NRV and within easy driving distance from Radford and Blacksburg.
