A ribbon cutting was recently held for Swanton’s newest business, Beyond Grateful Tumblers, Tees, and Custom Things. The event was held on Saturday, November 16th at 11:00.
Located at 128 North Main Street, members of the public were invited out to explore a “diverse collection of high-quality, handcrafted items that showcase artistic skill and creative flair.”
The storefront offers many different kinds of products, including stylish tumblers, trendy and cozy clothing items, novelty and handmade gifts, personalized embroidered pieces, custom keychains, epoxy designs, handcrafted wood-burned and engraved pieces, crochet items, home goods and more.
“We’re excited to welcome Beyond Grateful to Swanton’s bustling downtown,” said Delray E Busch, Executive Director of the Swanton Area Chamber of Commerce. “Their creativity and dedication to quality are sure to bring something special to our community.”
Owners Kimberly Edwards and Tiffany Schermerhorn also expressed their excitement after cutting the ribbon for their new store.
“It’s a little surreal but, I see that everyone is going to come up. Everybody is welcoming and has gone overboard to welcome us in this community. It has been overwhelming and I am beyond grateful.”
“There is no other way to put it. It has been the warmest welcome and everyone is supportive,” said Kimberly Edwards.
Kimberly also explained that she began her journey around three and a half years ago. The business at the time started off in her home.
Things took off from there and she has been growing the business ever since. So, if you are in the area head on over to Beyond Grateful Customs and see what they have in store.
