New Business Openings Keep Mayor Busy

Mayo Kim Driscoll and her official ribbon-cutting scissors have been getting quite the workout as she has helped welcome four new businesses to the city in recent days.

On Thursday, there was confetti in addition to the ribbon as the mayor helped celebrate the grand opening of Bambolina Italian restaurant and pizza place on Derby Street.

On Twitter, Driscoll praised the seriously impressive pizza oven, fun atmosphere, and fabulous food.

Also getting the grand opening treatment was Aaron’s Rent to Own on Canal Street, which offers lease-to-own opportunities on a wide range of family and household needs.

In Derby Square, the mayor helped cut the ribbon to announce the opening of Sperling Interactive.

Finally, someone could have likely karate chopped the ribbon at Karate International on Jefferson Avenue. The business offers programs in Okinawa Goja-Ryu karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, and kickboxing.
