Ribbon Cuttings

A Ribbon Cutting ceremony is a great way to celebrate the opening a new business, expanding a current location, relocating, or celebrating a milestone anniversary.

Congratulations to Pacific Pride! We joined Mayor Gary Carey at the new location’s grand opening in the City of Walker. Pacific Pride is excited to continue servicing local businesses, municipal, and educational vehicles in the area. Congratulations Pacific Pride!

Congratulations to Ascend Cannabis! We were happy to be a part of their grand opening for their location on Century Ave. It’s always an exciting day when a new business opens their doors.

Congratulations to the team at Spartan Innovations! We cut the ribbon on their new space at the Doug Meijer Medical Innovation Center. We’re excited to see all of the new businesses that use this space to collaborate and #creategreat!

Congratulations to Stinkin Clean Bins! We celebrated their ribbon cutting. They provide residential and commercial trash bin cleaning service. We’re excited to see them continuing to clean bins and dumpsters across the region. Congratulations!

Check out Taco John’s in Wyoming! We celebrated the ribbon cutting at their newest location. Give them a try the next time you’re on the search for a taco!
