Legrand Coffee House latest dream-come-true for former Rutgers football player paralyzed during game

WOODBRIDGE, New Jersey -- Something's brewing on the ground floor of the Avenue and Green Complex in Woodbridge, New Jersey.

Eric Legrand and his staff are just two days away from the grand opening of Legrand Coffee House, and the new owner can be seen beaming with excitement as the final preparations are underway. "So far so good everyone has loved it, Legrand said."We have some great roasting partners out in Brooklyn. It's just been fantastic."Legrand was a standout at Rutgers University until an injury on the field left him paralyzed from the neck down.He wrote a book based on his healing journey called"Believe." A book that has given many the guts to conquer obstacles.

"It just means that I'm doing something good in this world and it's just a continued reminder that if Eric is out there living his life to the fullest, doing all he's doing, why can't I?" Legrand said."Our motto is we want to bring unity to the community with a daily cup of believing," Legrand said.

This coffee house was Legrand's vision a year and a half ago and it's finally almost time to make that dream a reality.
