July 26, 2010 A message from the DRC (Down Town Residents Council)
DRC+,
Spread the word to your neighbors and get yourself out there to something we’ve all been waiting for… The opening of Kress Market!
They are officially opening the doors on the BEST DAY of the year… July 29, this Thursday!
For those of you who have met the owners, Javier and Hilda, you know they are awesome! They have been working so hard, putting in tons of hours and blood, sweat, and tears, and will be a great add to our community. (They started early by donating food to our Promenade Square grand opening.)
And, mark your calendars for the Grand Opening reception slated for August 12, 2010 from 5pm-8pm.
