Shawn Murphy owner of Advance Advertising Ltd. announces the grand opening of a new retail destination, The Brand Store, located at 7110 W Central Ave, Suite C1.

To commemorate this milestone, the company will host “PromoFest,” an immersive event designed to connect local businesses with the latest tools to elevate their professional identity.

The grand opening celebration will take place on Aug. 12 from 2 to 4:30 pm with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3 pm conducted in partnership with five regional Chambers of Commerce: Sylvania, Maumee, Perrysburg, Waterville, and Rossford.

“I am so excited for the opening of ‘The Brand Store,’ a retail store dedicated to business branding, as well as ‘PromoFest,’ a great way for our local businesses to learn more ways to ‘Celebrate Their Brand,’ and get out and have a good time,” Murphy noted.

Attendees of “PromoFest” will have the unique opportunity to meet directly with factory representatives from the nation’s largest apparel, promotional product, and trade show display providers.

Beyond networking, guests can engage in hands-on experiences, including decorating their own apparel on-site, all while enjoying entertainment and refreshments, including live music from the blues band MoJo Boes, frozen drinks provided by Sip & Social, and a selection of appetizers and beverages served on the patio at Voodoo Brewing.
