South Street Suites proudly celebrated the grand opening of its new building, designed to host suites for small local businesses, with an open house event on Saturday, July 27. The event, held at 36 ½ N. South St. in downtown Wilmington, featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony in collaboration with the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce, according to a news release.

The community enjoyed tours of the new facility, met the building and individual business owners, and discovered the diverse range of products and services offered. The open house provided a fun-filled afternoon for families, with activities including raffle baskets, a photobooth, chair massages, DIY screen apparel, and refreshments.
