RETAIL

The annual awards recognize non-managerial employees who demonstrate pride in their work, a positive attitude and strong work ethic while providing service to their teams, customers and communities.

The first 1,000 visitors will receive a free Downtown Holland tote bag, along with an official Spring Fling shopping and dining passport, and a boarding pass featuring “flight” specials at participating restaurants.

The two-day event will feature frozen games, interactive sculptures for photo ops, and over 20 commissioned ice displays from local businesses and organizations.

In the last four weeks, shoppers have come by to purchase hundreds of items, and residents have made more than 350 donation drop-offs.  

The $10,000 gift will support several key programs, including life-saving medical care as well as behavioral enrichment and comfort supplies.

The holiday season officially begins November 14, marking the start of a festive lineup of shopping events and family-friendly celebrations.

MONOPOLY: Grand Rapids Edition replaces the perennial board game's Atlantic City squares – from Boardwalk to Park Place – with local cultural sites, historic landmarks, charitable organizations, and businesses.

The festival includes professional pumpkin carving, children’s activities, community tulip planting, an artisan market, hayrides, and a Touch a Truck event.

The event spotlighted the growing impact of its regional operations and the role that retail partnerships play in strengthening Michigan’s agricultural economy.

The women-owned retailer offers high-quality, unique, and sustainable jewelry, and operates as a social enterprise to employ women who face barriers to employment.

Essential Service Awards categories include administrative/office worker, cleaning/housekeeping/groundskeeping, childcare, food service, government, health care/elder care, hospitality, nonprofit, retail, skilled labor and transportation.

The 13,475 square-foot store will also serve as a drop-off center for community members looking to donate their new or gently used items.

The new location will offer an expanded community space, a dedicated fragrance bar for hands-on self-care experiences, and a rotating selection of used and new books that reflect the diversity and curiosity of its customers.

Visitors can play frozen games made out ice and pose for photos with interactive ice sculptures.

The new store features more than triple the space, new jewelry lines, and an upstairs bar and event space for special occasions.

The sauces are now available at 434 stores across the Midwest.

Before renovations begin, the garage’s complete assets will be sold in an online auction hosted by Orbitbid.com.

Now is the time to share your recommendations for the organizations and landmarks that deserve a spot on the MONOPOLY: Grand Rapids Edition board.

The holidays in Downtown Holland kick off on November 15. The season includes discounts, promotions, and special family-friendly events.

Last fall, the ready-to-drink spirit was introduced in a limited release, which sold out in every West Michigan store that carried it.

The menu offers a variety of boards to suit different tastes and dietary preferences, including classic, plant-based, and dessert options.

After 44 years of serving the community, a local gymnastics center has closed.

The awards recognize individuals who go above-and-beyond in a service industry position.

Located at 121 S Division Ave, the store offers a curated selection of high-quality, rare, and collectible guitars, amps, effects, drums, basses, and analog synthesizers.

Starting August 15, pasta sauces will be sold at 11 Meijer Supercenter locations in the Grand Rapids area. On September 1, the brand’s three popular salsa varieties – Mild, Medium and Hot – will also hit shelves at 264 Meijer locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.

In addition to enjoying the sights and sounds of 25 different performing artists and groups, attendees can enjoy discounts, prizes, and giveaways.

The six-week summer program runs from June 24 to August 6 and provides enriching career readiness opportunities for youth ages 14 to 24 across Allegan, Barry, Ionia, Kent, Montcalm, Muskegon and Ottawa counties.

The week-long event includes Spring Break swag, shopping and dining discounts, fun in-store promotions, and giveaways at over 50 participating shops and restaurants.

Downtown Holland will host its annual Girlfriends Weekend from Friday, March 1, to Sunday, March 3, inviting women to celebrate friendship through various activities, including shopping, dining, and classes.
