Hamilton Planning Director Lauren Nelson said the city and CORE, the city organization that manages funds and properties, “are thrilled” for the grand opening date being set.

Greater Hamilton Chamber of Commerce Dan Bates said he’s long-been excited about the business opening, but working with the people behind the family business, he’s even “more excited” than when the expansion was announced in July.
