Grand Opening
Family Express of Valparaiso, Indiana is celebrating the first of its modularized, masonry buildings opening its doors in Ligonier, Indiana.
The Grand Opening was graced by Family Express Teammates handing out Fresh Carnations to Delighted Customers. The public was treated to their choice of deliciousness from the Proprietary Cravin’s-To-Order kitchen and a complimentary Car Wash.
“We are in the business of Building Relationships with Communities, Co-workers, and the Public. When we open our doors in a Community that is not familiar with our Legacy of Customer Service, we give them a sample of our overall engagement as to underline our assertion that we are not a gas station,” said Gus Olympidis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Family Express Corp.
This is the first of four FE stores that are scheduled to open before the end of the year and a part of the Company’s 50th Anniversary Celebration.
