Lincoln City Outlets Ginger Roots For more than 30 years, Shelby Locke Cunningham has called Lincoln City home. She grew up working in her parents’ coffee shop and other local restaurants, later studying art and business before returning to the Coast. In her early 20s, she wasn’t sure if Lincoln City would be her forever home, but over the years she opened Salt, got married, had kids and realized it’s “an amazing place to put down roots, with plenty of room to grow.” Opened six years ago, Salt blends her love of travel with coastal life, offering scratch-made coffee drinks, pastries and meals in a cozy cafe in the Lincoln City Outlets, along with art, apparel and other curated retail. For a perfect day in Lincoln City, Cunningham would send visitors on a drive through town, stopping in at unique shops along the way, enjoying burritos at La Rosa, Nepalese dumplings at Momo on The Wheels or wine from Sea Horsey Bottle Shop, and spending as much time at the beach as possible. After fueling up at Salt first, of course. LOCAL SPOTLIGHT SHELBY LOCKE CUNNINGHAM, OWNER OF SALT
