Fast Frame Ribbon Cutting & Open House in Sparr Heights

Come and discover Sparr Heights during the ribbon cutting/open house of our newest business Fast Frame. Owners Beverly and Frank De Lucia have been the owners of the Fast Frame store in La Cañada for the past 11 years and are excited to move their business into Montrose. The Fast Frame store has been in La Cañada for 25 years and is a well-established business. Beverly and Frank do all the framework on-site and are dedicated to giving their customers exactly what they are looking for.

“We love our customers and have had many of them for years and want to welcome new customers from the Montrose area,” said Beverly and Frank. They really want to become part of the community and support it. They believe in community involvement and are looking to become a part of ours. The open house is from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will have a “block party” feel as many nearby businesses will be staying open a little later so you can meet them and see their stores. The Fast Frame store is located at 3423 Ocean View Blvd. in a cute part of Sparr Heights.

In the true spirit of a block party, the food will be catered by Schreiner’s Fine Sausages and Berolina’s Bakery that are both located just south of the store. The ribbon cutting will be right at 5 p.m. We hope that you all can join us in welcoming this new business to town.

Last Wednesday night we had a really great mixer hosted by CV Insurance. We “karaoked” with FatCat DJ Ernie Maraoka, ate good ole American fare, networked with each other and had an opportunity to recognize members who were celebrating an anniversary with us. Also we gave away our special American Pride award for the best use of the American flag to the Longo family from Andy’s Transfer and Storage. Please log on to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MontroseChamber to see this cute picture and all of the rest of the pictures from our mixer.
