“We’re thrilled to welcome a new business to our community,” Ganim said. “This is a great addition to Main Street and a sign of the continued revitalization happening in Bridgeport.”
City Council President Aidee Nieves attended and emphasized the business’s local value.
“It’s always a great honor to be a part of a new business opening downtown,” Nieves said. “This location not only adds to the growth of Main Street, but it also creates a vibrant new space for residents and visitors alike.”
