Queen City Vendors to hold grand reopening

An Olyphant business is growing.

Queen City Vendors, a community-based vendor variety store, is celebrating its grand reopening Saturday, May 16, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The store opened at 210 W. Lackawanna Ave. in November.

The grand opening will showcase a newly expanded space, designed to support more local vendors and offer a greater variety of unique items to shoppers.

At the event, customers will be able to sign up for the store’s newest addition, paint parties. This offers another creative outlet for the local community to gather and connect.

The grand reopening event will feature basket raffles, door prizes, free hot dogs and snow cones with purchase from noon to 2 p.m. There will also be music, food and family-friendly activities.
