Ribbons are Cut, Doors Open, Shop the New Businesses

Ribbon cuttings are going on all over the Greater Rochester Area. All sorts of different businesses are opening their doors, greeting customers, and adding value to the community. By no means is this a complete list; however Rochester Media and The Community Edge had a chance to visit a few recently. All are fully open and ready for you to visit.

Tim Hortons on Crooks Road

Owners, Ravinder and Anita Saini, opened their first Tim Horton’s two years ago. That first location, on Rochester Road, was also in Rochester Hills. Their new Tim’s is on Crooks Road, between M59 and Hamlin Road.

This Tim Horton’s Café & Bake Shop is a little larger than the other store. It also has an inside mural highlighting local high schools, landmarks, and parks. Ravi and Anita love their customers and their customers are very loyal guests.

Rochester Tap Room

With a post-prohibition theme, the Rochester Tap Room celebrates the right to enjoy an adult beverage by offering the most taps in Oakland County. Sixty craft brews on tap, a hundred boutique wines, and six-thousand square-feet of space.

Menu items include a Maple Glazed Duck Breast and Coconut Chicken & Waffles, as well as all your standard burgers, pizzas and desserts. Co-owner Missy Markevics, former partner of Penny Black, and known as the “Beer Chick,” the person to ask when you have a drink question.

Rush Antiques

Located on Main Street, Rush Antiques has small items such as China, lamps, and Roseville Pottery, as well as larger items including period furniture, mirrors, and chairs. The owners, Jere & Leana Rush, have a favorite piece, an original George III chest on chest, English, circa 1790. It has an original finish, original swan-neck pulls and bracket feet. “An Outstanding Eighteenth-Century piece,” said Leona Rush. While it’s one of their favorites, they’ll let it go for $9,500.00
