Welcome to
What better way to to celebrate our official Grand Opening
than with our very first BLOG POST
Located in the former Grill Marks restaurant
in Largo
(607 Clearwater Largo Road)
but you'll NEVER recognize it now!
Later this week, we'll share our journey
from dilapidated, abandoned restaurant
to multi-vendor shopping mecca
as well as lots of lovely photos from around the store
Last night, we hosted our official Grand Opening
and it was indeed rather GRAND
we're so excited about how amazing the event was
we're starting right there...
sharing with you a glimpse of the event
The creative energy at 607 VMP is amazing...
and the grand opening event was certainly no exception
Approx. 350 people made it by the store!
Aside from all the wonderful vendors
(we have 32 at present)
and attendees,
we are able to share the evening with some
pretty amazing local artists
Mark Burdette painted this amazing canvas
(and by canvas, I mean plywood! Like I said, amazing!)
on-site last night...
His paintings? Done mostly with his hands & fingers...
(hard not to love this woman...)
and at evenings end,
the painting was raffled off to one
VERY lucky and VERY excited winner
(Mark also made one little girl extremely happy...
he gave her one of his smaller paintings...
that little sweetie didn't stop smiling the rest of the evening!)
Local musician Jeremy Thomas doesn't disappoint...
We're pretty sure we could sit and listen all night
Jeremy's been at it since he was a kid,
and he's got one of "those" voices
Uber talented!
Ryan from RJ Cigar Company hand rolled cigars
during the event...
we're talkin' real deal, old school hand rolled cigars
Of course, a HUGE thank you from
EVERYONE goes out
to Jenni and Chris!
Everyone featured here today shares at least one commonality...
Passion. Passion for their art, Passion for their business.
We're proud to be a small business,
and we're proud to support
other small businesses
and local artists
Support Local. Shop Local.
