This week’s news has been full of excitement with several updates. On Wednesday, two new businesses opened their doors to the public. Cyrus Kabob launched their family’s Persian recipes at their new restaurant on 421 Frankford Ave., while Hairbreak Hotel unveiled their Elvis Presley themed hair salon at 2614 130th St., Unit 3., along with their exclusive line of beard oil.
On the same day, Lil Homiez Barbershop and Salon also joined the scene on Thursday at 5302 Ave. Q, Suite 17. In addition to these openings, two articles from the business beat were published this week. One of the pieces featured Dawna Gillespie of Dawna Gillespie Adornments, detailing how a metalsmithing class at Texas Tech propelled her towards becoming an internationally recognized designer.
Gillespie expressed that her work is centered around representing human life and narrating stories through her pieces to illustrate that we are all unique individuals. I had the pleasure of talking to her and even got a chance to visit Ransom Canyon for the first time, which was truly breathtaking and something I wish more people talked about. I highly recommend taking a drive out there whenever you can.
The second major story of the week was the monthly business roundup for April, showcasing 15 entries including nine openings, two closings, and four upcoming/denied announcements. Unfortunately, no concrete plans have been finalized yet for next week’s news so I may circle back on some rumored establishments as they become official. Thank you for your continued support and reading A-J!
